Primarily to compete with AA out of MIA and DL out of ATL.
I think it’s why DL is doubling down on TPA? Time will tell with that move though. Should be interesting to say the least
Can't really compete with Miami. It's just so much better with latin flying. But i'm not counting Orlando out yet. Just that so many things can change in 5-10 years. As for Delta in TPA, they're not doing that much. They're more focused on AUS, BOS, RDU, and SEA. Just because they have a lounge in the terminal doesn't mean much. With where ATL is in their network, they'll basically never add another hub/focus city that competes with that.
