JetBlue isn’t the only airline making cuts at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)<\/a>: Delta Air Lines’ hub at LAX will have three fewer routes later this year.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta-based carrier filed plans over the weekend to drop three flights from LAX, as first seen in Cirium schedules and later confirmed by a carrier spokesperson.<\/p>\n

This includes the 337-mile intrastate service from LAX to the Bay Area’s Oakland International Airport (OAK), which will cease operating May 7. Delta has operated this puddle-jumper route since 2007, Cirium schedules show.<\/p>\n

The airline will reallocate this flying to other LAX markets, but the carrier did not confirm which routes would see capacity increases or new services as part of this shake-up.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Delta will boost its presence in Oakland this summer with a new route to its megahub in Atlanta, beginning June 7.<\/p>\n

As for the LAX-to-Oakland route, Delta explained the move is in response to weak demand, saying in a statement that the cut is designed “to fit the current demand environment.”<\/p>\n

When Delta’s service ends, it’ll leave Southwest Airlines with a monopoly on this route.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Delta will also scrap two routes from its LAX winter schedule: Bozeman, Montana, and Vail, Colorado. These two ski markets were slated to be connected with LAX at the start of the upcoming winter season.<\/p>\n

Just like the Oakland cut, Delta explained in a statement that these cuts are being made “as the demand environment for winter travel comes into clearer focus.”<\/p>\n

Going forward, travelers based in Los Angeles flying nonstop to Bozeman can travel with American Airlines, Alaska Airlines or United Airlines. American will have a monopoly on the LA-to-Vail route this winter, according to Cirium schedules.<\/p>\n

All hope isn’t lost, though, because Delta says that it’ll announce additional updates to its winter ski routes in the coming weeks. Hopefully, this will translate to more service, but there’s no telling what the carrier has in the works.<\/p>\n
