Delta Air Lines flew to 29 destinations from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) prior to the pandemic. That number got slashed over the past several years and currently, Delta flies to 19 destinations from the North Carolina city. It’s looking to rebuild its presence at the airport and just added another route to start on May 7th.

Its proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) likely means that it will never be a hub, but residents see lots of love from Delta as it holds the second largest marketshare at the airport. Currently, Delta flies the following routes to/from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU):
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)

Anthony’s Take: I used to fly in and out of Raleigh at least once a month when I worked for a company based there. It’s a great airport and it has grown tons over the past few years. Let’s see if Delta gets back to pre-pandemic levels here.
