Delta to scrap Memphis hub, cut flights and 230 workers
June 4 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc said on Tuesday that it plans to scrap its Memphis, Tennessee, hub in September, cutting 230 jobs and scaling back flights to make the location profitable. Delta plans to drop to about 60 flights a day in September from almost 300 daily flights when Memphis was a hub for Northwest Airlines, which was bought by Delta in 2008.

goodmorning to all ,I take an interest in the comments made in the news from your area of the woods , do you receive info relating to the N.Z. scene .Way down under . Just a thought.
Southwest starts MEM service in November..After this news I have a feeling that Southwest will make MEM bigger than originally plotted. Fingers crossed. It would be amazing for the city!
Well, it probably is to close to ATL. ATL approaches actually start not far out of MEM, at least for their high level stuff. Reducing flights to 60 per day is still no small amount but they will just not have a pilot base there and significantly reduce employees. This has been talked about for months. Pinnacle(DAL owned) left at the end of May.
How long till FedEx Express starts putting 4 rows of seats in their freighters and auctions off the "supernumeraries" to the higest bidder?
If SWA was really smart they would make MEM a focus city because MEM is in a prime location of the country.
SWA already has made BNA a focus city...Too close for that.
I'm surprised it lasted this long. They've been axing it little by little for years.
I remember after the last round of cuts, they said something to the effect of, "There aren't enough passengers originating in Memphis to keep it sustainable." So, what is Atlanta? You can't BS me saying 75% of the people on flights to/from ATL are from the area...
