Delta schedules extra flight for storm evacuees

Delta Air Lines says it is sending an extra flight to Honduras to bring back customers who are trying to get back to Atlanta to avoid Hurricane Felix. The Central American country’s government has called for the evacuation of Roatan Island as the storm bears down. Atlanta-based Delta says it has about 100 customers who were scheduled to return on Saturday from Roatan Island. Delta says it is contacting those who have provided cell phone numbers to alert them of the extra flight tomorrow. Local airport personnel are contacting hotels. Delta says the extra flight will depart Roatan at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
