Delta Air Lines Announces Bonaire Summer Schedule

Delta Air Lines has announced that due to a “strong Saturday demand” that the aircraft operating between Atlanta and Bonaire will be upgraded from a 737-800 with 16 first class and 124 coach seats to a 757 with 24 first class and 159 coach seats. The upgraded equipment will be in the systems on March 22 and cover the summer schedule.

Concurrently, due to very low booking levels, Delta Air Lines has announced that they have made the determination to cancel the Wednesday flights that were scheduled for the summer (June 11 through August 13). The flights will come out of the system on March 22.  Delta has provided the following information concerning re-accommodating customers:

“Generally, if there is alternate service within a day or so, the customers may be moved to those dates.  In this instance, since there was not alternate service in an acceptable time frame, the PNRs were canceled [UN’d].  GDS PNRs are automatically sent the UN message during sked change/reaccom and it is their responsibility to handle.  Direct DL Reservations, whether group or non-group, are placed on urgent queues and the agency and/or customer is called by DL.”

During the re-accommodation process, Aruba will be offered as an alternate.  (Source:  TCB-NY)
