Delta to End Bucharest Service

May 23rd, 2008 | By Jared Blank

In a bit of bad news for my friend Corina (and everyone else who wants to fly to Romania), Delta will end their nonstop JFK-Bucharest service in October as part of a larger set of cutbacks they’ve been announcing. Posters on Airliners suggest that low business class loads are the culprit, and I’d buy that as the reason. Here’s the full set of discontinued routes:

Atlanta-Edinburgh
Atlanta-Fort de France
Atlanta-Pointe Pitre
Atlanta-Tobago

JFK-Bucharest
JFK-Dakar-Nairobi
JFK-Gatwick
JFK-Guatemala City
JFK-Lagos
JFK-Orly
JFK-Punta Cana
JFK-Santiago (DR)
JFK-Santo Domingo

In the process, he learned about the vacuum power of airplane toilets, as is evidenced [...]
