Delta to Shut Down Comair

By Doug Cameron And Saabira Chaudhuri
Updated July 27, 2012 6:32 pm ETDelta Air Lines Inc. DAL -5.29% plans to close its Cincinnati-based Comair Inc. feeder airline this fall, reflecting the high costs and declining ridership of the small, fuel-thirsty jets used by it and other regional carriers.

High fuel prices have upended the small regional jets that blossomed in the U.S. during the early 1990s, transforming small-city airports and becoming a hit with passengers used to flying turboprops. Hundreds of regional jets are parked in the desert as airlines moved to larger, more efficient planes.

Oops.
