Delta Airlines,the American mega carrier, has announced the suspension of flight operations between JFK Airport in New York and Lagos from October 4, 2022.
In a statement, the airline, which resumed operations on its Lagos-Atlanta route on September 9, 2020, said the route suspension was to fit into “the current demand environment.”
But the airline assured that it would continue to operate services between Lagos and Atlanta, and offer connections to New York and other cities across the United States. It also stated that customers impacted by its suspended New York-JFK to Lagos service would be re-accommodated on Delta-operated flights or service operated by its joint venture partners.
“Delta is suspending its nonstop service between New York-JFK and Lagos to fit the current demand environment,” the airline said. “The airline continues to operate service between Lagos and Atlanta and offers onward connections to New York and other cities across the United States.
“Customers impacted by our suspended New York-JFK to Lagos service will be re-accommodated on Delta operated flights or services operated by our joint venture partners. Delta remains committed to the Nigeria market.”
