Delta to cut flights to Loreto and other Mexico cities

As reported by Los Angeles Times staff writer Peter Pae in his article “Delta cuts 13% of its LAX flights,” travelers will soon find fewer Delta Air Lines flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to destinations including Boston, Massachusetts; Columbus, Ohio; and Mexico and Latin American destinations.

Several routes to Mexico are being temporarily suspended or eliminated altogether. According to Delta spokesperson Anthony L. Black, starting in mid-August 2008, Loreto (LTO) and Manzanillo (ZLO) will no longer be serviced by Delta flights from LAX. These are permanent cancellations. Flights to León (BJX) will be suspended indefinitely starting Aug. 16, 2008.

Those planning trips to Mexico in the late summer and fall, take note: Service between LAX and the following cities in Mexico on Delta will temporarily end mid-August but resume in mid-November: Acapulco (ACA), Culiacan (CUL), La Paz (LAP) and Mazatlan (MZT). Torreon (TRC) and Zacatecas (ZCL) will also stop seeing LAX flights starting mid-August, but those flights will resume mid-December. Service to Los Mochis (LMM) has been suspended and will resume in mid-November.
