Delta Air Lines and its subsidiary Northwest Airlines are set to discontinue flights to Ho Chi Minh City via Tokyo effective from late March 2010.
The move is said to be due to the global economic downturn which has resulted in the airline group to restructure its pacific network plan for the upcoming summer schedules, however Delta/Northwest has said customers can continue to have uninterrupted access to Vietnam via its SkyTeam partners.
?For passengers who have been ticketed to travel on Delta and Northwest for the flights after March 27, 2010, we will re-accommodate them to the partners? alternative flights and will inform to agents and passengers accordingly,? Delta said in the statement.
It is believed Delta will join code-share flights with Vietnam Airlines.
