For most of April, Delta Air Lines Inc. has flown just one passenger per day to and from Worcester, Massachusetts, and the company has asked the U.S. Transportation Department to allow it to suspend flights there and to eight other airports.
Separately, JetBlue Airways Corp. asked to let it halt flights to 16 airports, including major hubs in Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas, warning that continuing to fly to the locations will “significantly harm” the company’s liquidity.
