Delta to resume Bucharest-New York flights only in summer

Delta Air Lines, the world’s largest airline, will resume flights to and from Romania in June next year, but company officials have yet to decide on flights after this period. “We would say the occupancy degree in the off-season is around 10% lower than in the summer months,” said Corina Enciu, country manager of Delta Air Lines on the Romanian market, who specified that in the summer months, the occupancy degree was of around 80%. Delta resumed its Bucharest-New York flights in June 2007 after an around ten-year absence and suspended them again in October this year. At the time, it did not announce when and if it would operate on the Romanian market again. The decision to suspend flights was a surprising one, considering that Delta representatives said ever since their market entry that they were considering moving from four flights per week to daily flights.
