Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. will indefinitely suspend nonstop flights between New York and Amman, Jordan, on June 1 to compensate for low demand and rising fuel costs.
Delta has also canceled plans in April to resume nonstop flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Cairo. The flights were initially canceled in February due to unrest in the country.
Both decisions are part of Delta’s plans to decrease its trans-Atlantic capacity by 4 percent to make up for rising fuel costs, according to a news release.
The airline will continue to offer flights to Amman and Cairo through Paris and Amsterdam through its joint venture with Air France S.A. and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
