Delta confirms it is ending service on two routes, citing shifts in demand. The market suspensions include flights from its Boston and Atlanta hubs.

This fall, the carrier plans to end flights between Boston and Honolulu, its longest domestic route. This route began in November 2024, operating daily.

“Delta will suspend nonstop service between Boston and Honolulu effective November 20, 2025, as we continue to adjust our schedule to align with consumer demand. Impacted customers will be directly notified by Delta, and we apologize for the inconvenience,” an airline spokesperson said in a statement.

The airline continues to serve the Hawaiian market from several of its hubs. Last week, Delta announced new flights from Salt Lake City to Kona.

Other Market Changes

Citing demand, Delta will also end service between Atlanta and Oakland, California, in June. The carrier will continue to serve Oakland from Salt Lake City.

“Delta will suspend service between Atlanta and Oakland effective June 8, 2025, due to demand,” the spokesperson said. “Impacted customers will be directly notified by Delta and we apologize for the inconvenience.”

This route was suspended in 2019 before the airline resumed it in 2024. Flights operated on a seasonal basis with daily Boeing 737-900ER flights.

Earlier this month, Delta slashed its profit outlook for the quarter, noting a weaker demand environment. United also said it is cutting some capacity.
