Delta Air Lines is adding two routes to its network that it hasn’t served in more than a decade. The airline will connect both Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) with Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA), which is in Bentonville, AR where Walmart’s corporate headquarters are located.
The daily flights will be operated by Delta Connection partners Endeavor Air and SkyWest Airlines. Endeavor Air will fly a Bombardier CRJ-900 with 12 First Class, 20 Comfort+. and 44 Main Cabin seats between Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) (this begins on November 11th). SkyWest will operate the route with Embraer 175 aircraft that offer 12 First Class, 20 Comfort+. and 38 Main Cabin seats between Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) and Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) (this begins on February 13th).
Delta currently serves Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) from three of its hubs, including:
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)
- New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
These routes have not been flown since 2014 and 2015, respectively. They cater to business travelers, so Delta must being seeing some uptick.
Anthony’s Take: If you’ve got business to attend to with Walmart, Delta is making it easier for passengers to fly nonstop or with one connection from many cities across the United States.
