Delta Ends Austin-Midland Flights Amid Low Demand, Southwest Remains Strong.

Delta Air Lines will permanently cut flights to Midland International Air and Space Port in November, citing low demand on its Austin-Midland flights. The airline's decision to withdraw from Midland contrasts with its strong second-quarter earnings and aligns with its principle of matching flight schedules with market demand. Southwest Airlines will continue to operate one daily flight on the route, dominating the airport's market with nearly half of all passengers. Airport leaders are pursuing partnerships with other carriers and investing in terminal expansions and upgrades to maintain connectivity.
