HTML

Delta has been providing service in the Orlando-Mexico City market since 1991. Effective April 6, 1997, Delta briefly discontinued its nonstop service for a two month period, as it implemented a code-share/blocked-space agreement with Aeromexico, whereby Delta will offer Orlando-Mexico City nonstop service operated by Aeromexico on a twice weekly (Saturday/Sunday) basis, utilizing MD-87 aircraft. Delta intends to resume service in this market under the code-share/blocked space agreement with Aeromexico on or about June 10, 1997.

Delta currently provides daily roundtrip service between Los Angeles, on the one hand, and Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, on the other hand, in a roundrobin pattern, utilizing Boeing 727-200 aircraft. Delta intends to discontinue its Los Angeles-Mazatlan/Puerto Vallarta service on or about May 31, 1997, and immediately implement a code-share/blocked-space arrangement with Aeromexico between Los Angeles and Puerto Vallarta on or about June 10, 1997. Although Delta does not have immediate plans to operate service between Los Angeles and Mazatlan, Delta seeks renewal of its certificate authority for this route in order to retain the operational flexibility to resume service quickly as market conditions warrant.
