Delta puts Guangzhou service on hold

3/30/2011 10:00:50 AM

Delta Air Lines will delay the launch of a new service from Tokyo Narita to Guangzhou, China, chief executive Richard Anderson said during a visit to the Japanese capital.

The largest overseas carrier in Japan is cutting capacity to and through its Tokyo hub by 15 percent to 20 percent through May after traffic fell in the wake of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear alert. Delta has continued Tokyo flights though suspended the recently introduced service to the city's downtown Haneda airport.

It warned this week that the Japanese crisis could reduce profits this year by US$250 million to $400 million.

"Japan is critical to Delta Air Lines," said Anderson in his weekly staff address, recorded during a three-day visit to Tokyo.

"By and large we're going to operate our full schedule out of Narita," he said, though some flights may be cancelled or run with smaller aircraft.

The new service to Guangzhou from its Tokyo hub was due to start on April 6.
