Delta Air Lines is set to resume flights to and from 13 airports in the Caribbean following an announcement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that their airspace closure directive will expire early Sunday morning, January 4. The airline expects to operate its regular Caribbean schedule on the 4th of January, although some adjustments may occur as they work to reposition their resources.
In light of the recent disruptions, Delta has issued a travel waiver for customers traveling to or from the affected airports between January 3 and January 6. This waiver allows customers to make necessary changes to their travel plans without facing additional fees. Those holding bookings during this window will be notified directly by Delta, providing clear instructions on modifying their itineraries.
The affected airports include several popular destinations: ANU (Antigua), AUA (Aruba), BGI (Bridgetown), BON (Bonaire), CUR (Curaçao), GND (Grenada), SJU (San Juan), SKB (St. Kitts), STT (St. Thomas), STX (St. Croix), SVD (St. Vincent), SXM (Sint Maarten), and UVF (Saint Lucia).
Delta recommends that customers use the Fly Delta app or their website, Delta.com, to monitor the status of their flights and to make adjustments to their bookings as needed. As the situation continues to evolve, Delta’s teams are closely monitoring developments, prioritizing the safety and security of their customers and employees above all else.
The airline’s actions reflect its commitment to maintaining smooth operations and ensuring that customers receive timely notifications regarding any changes that may affect their travel plans.
