This is a result of Network turning their efforts to "focus" cities. These are cities that are underserved and are not a hub for competitors. The model for DL was RDU. In short order, we add ~20 non-stops per peak day (often only 1 flight to many hubs) and a transatlantic flight to CDG, AMS or LHR. Can't talk specifics on this open forum. Think of large cities, near competitor hubs that we currently have only 4x service each day to a couple of our hubs. Austin would fit that description and we have already announced increased service. There are at least 6 others that are being considered. You will see AMS flights to new cities announced later this Fall.

They are supposedly getting widebody cargo loaders and larger tugs next month.
Early sales for those SXSW AMS flights are encouraging and some are saying it will be announced as a seasonal route at least.
Meanwhile BA's LHR nonstop has been alive and well for 3 years now with 788/9 and 772 equipment.
On the domestic front SEA was quickly increased to 2x daily, BOS service is to commence in October and RDU is looking like it'll upgauge to a 717 in the spring.
