XJT Reduces RDU Service

As part of its route realignment, ExpressJet is cutting Raleigh flights to Birmingham, Ala.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Louisville, Ky., less than a year after they began. The cut takes effect on April 1. RDU is also feeling pressure from Delta which is canceling three daily nonstop round trips to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on June 5 and has decided not to bring back RDU's only nonstop flight to Los Angeles. A seasonal weekly round trip to Cancun, Mexico, is being discontinued April 16. Delta Connection ended a once daily round trip to Tampa from RDU on Jan. 31.
