Delta drops all flights from Ontario to Dallas
Friday, October 01, 2004 - ONTARIO -- All three daily nonstop Delta Air Lines flights from Ontario International Airport to Dallas/Ft. Worth will be discontinued and an additional flight will be added to Salt Lake City starting Jan. 31, a Delta official said Friday.
The change is part of a significant restructuring recently announced by the airline in which Dallas will no longer be a Delta hub or have Delta regional jet operations, said spokesman Anthony Black.
The airline is eliminating flights to Dallas except those from its hubs in Atlanta, Salt Lake City and Cincinnati because of financial reasons.

The airline was unable to compete in the Dallas market because it was not the largest carrier -- which was American Airlines -- or the lowest cost carrier, which was Southwest Airlines, Black said.
