(MENAFN) Delta Air Lines Inc. has announced canceling a number of its flights to Dubai this winter in a move which point out to how competition with three Gulf carriers is hurting its business.
The second-largest US passenger carrier will fly nonstop to Dubai from its Atlanta hub between four and five times per week starting October 1, down from daily service this summer.
The airline revised its schedule to reflect the change, part of a broader 15-to-20 percent cut in capacity to the Middle East and Africa that Delta announced in April.
"The reduction comes amid overcapacity on US routes to the Middle East operated by government-owned and subsidized airlines," Delta spokesman said in a statement.
