Delta to temporarily cut Atlanta to Mumbai route

Atlanta: In another sign of a slumping economy, Delta Air Lines will temporarily cut back its non-stop international service from Atlanta to Mumbai, India.
Between April and October, Delta will fly between Atlanta and Mumbai 5 times a week instead of every day.
Market demand is down on that route and others says Delta spokesperson Susan Elliott.
ELLIOTT: "We've been making adjustments across our schedule both on the domestic side and on the international side. It's about being prudent in how we manage our business and tying capacity to demand."
This year, Delta hopes to cut international capacity by at least 3 percent and domestic capacity by at least 8 percent.
For passengers, capacity cuts could mean more than schedule changes. It may also mean Delta offers fewer seats.
