Mallory: Forced takeover of Delta bad for city
Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory said Tuesday that a forced merger between Delta, which operates a regional hub at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, and U.S. Air would be a bad deal for the city -- and the entire region.
Mallory said such a merger would likely mean the airport would no longer be used as a hub.
"It would be bad for airline travel in general," Mallory said, adding the airlines have similar service routes, hubes that are close together and serve similar parts of the country. "It doesn't achieve anything."
In a prepared statement, Mallory wrote: "Delta should be commended for their commitment to their employees, their employees' families, and Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. A forced merger is never a good thing. We need to ensure that we maintain our Airport as a regional hub, that we preserve the quality of service, and that we protect the jobs that are vital to our region."
