DL IDs first BOS Markets for Big Sky

Delta has targeted underserved communities in upstate New York for its new Delta Connection operations with Big Sky Airlines. It is adding 22 new Connection flights at Massena, Ogdensburg and Watertown, effective April 8. The flights will connect customers in these four upstate cities directly to Delta’s gateway at Boston, with additional nonstop service offered between Albany and Watertown with continuing service to Massena and Ogdensburg. Delta’s new service includes three round-trip flights between Boston and Watertown with continuing service to Massena and Ogdensburg as well as two round-trip flights between Albany and Boston, and one round-trip flight between Albany and Watertown with connecting service to Massena and Ogdensburg. In December, Delta announced an agreement with Big Sky through which Delta would grow its Boston operation with an 18 percent increase in departures. Big Sky initially will fly eight Beechcraft 1900D aircraft on short-haul routes in the Northeast. Additional routes will be announced later this spring. Related Story
