HEBRON, Ky. (AP) - Delta Air Lines' president reassured local and state officials that the proposed merger with Northwest Airlines will not affect service at Delta's Cincinnati-area hub.
He also says it will not hurt regional subsidiary Comair.
Delta President Ed Bastian said at a news conference today at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in Hebron, Ky. that the merger will promote more international growth. He says it also could give greater opportunity for regional jet flying at Comair.
Bastian says that Delta will continue to have a relationship with Comair. But he says no decision has been made on whether Comair will remain a subsidiary or become a stand-alone company.
