Today, March 16, 2010, Delta Air Lines announced the closing of Concourse A in CVG effective May 1, 2010. Recently, Delta Air Lines also announced a reconfiguration of the banks of flying at CVG that will lessen the peaks and valleys of the current operations schedule while still committing to maintaining 160–170 flights per day at CVG. With the retooling of the flight schedule, Delta has been able to optimize the use of terminal and gate space and can now shift all operations into Concourse B, which was previously underutilized.
In addition to this announcement, Delta has stated its intention to have Delta personnel provide all ramp and gate functions for mainline and Connection carrier flights. This decision will directly impact hundreds of former Comair employees who joined Delta Regional Elite Services group last year. We are deeply saddened by the difficult situation that these former coworkers will be facing in the coming months.
