Delta cuts back on US, foreign routes

Delta Air Lines says it will cut back on both domestic and international service because demand is down. A spokesperson for Delta says the airlines still plans to add the 15 new international routes it announced earlier this month, but the company will closely monitor performance. When the new overseas routes were announced, a Delta executive told reporters that overall international capacity in 2009 would be slightly larger than in 2008, while overall domestic capacity would be slightly smaller.
