Delta Air Lines to Add Raleigh – Baltimore Link

Posted 23/05/2011

US carrier Delta Air Lines is to expand its domestic activities with a new three times daily service between Raleigh and Baltimore.  The flight will be introduced from September 7 and will be operated using a Bombardier CRJ200 of regional partner Delta Connection.

This will place the US major in direct competition with Southwest Airlines, which currently operates more than 45 flights per week between the two destinations, offering more than 6,000 seats in each direction.  An estimated 186,000 O&D passengers travelled on the route in the past year, with passengers paying an average fare of $94 each way. 

Delta currently serves 17 domestic markets from Raleigh and seven from Baltimore and will mainly target point-to-point traffic on the route, although its fares will likely be much higher than its low-cost competitor as it aims its produce at higher yield travellers.

Schedule:

DL5444 RDU0645 – 0745BWI CRJ D
DL5446 RDU1200 – 1300BWI CRJ D
