Key Takeaways:

Delta has permanently removed three routes from its schedule following temporary suspensions earlier this summer.

The carrier is discontinuing service from New York-JFK to Houston, Memphis, and St. Louis. The changes were loaded into Delta’s schedule on July 25.

All three routes last operated on June 7 and were originally scheduled to resume in early September. Delta has now removed the flights beyond the temporary suspension period, according to Cirium Diio schedule data.

“As part of our routine network planning, Delta is discontinuing service between New York-JFK and Houston, Memphis, and St. Louis,” an airline spokesperson said in a statement. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will contact affected customers directly to discuss alternative travel options.”

Delta will continue serving all three cities from New York LaGuardia. The airline currently operates four daily flights to Houston, three to Memphis, and four to St. Louis from LaGuardia.
