Delta Air Lines Cuts Another Destination, Adds New Boston Routes

Delta Air Lines has cut another once-popular destination from its roster, but it has added new Boston routes to make up for the loss.

A report from The Points Guy suggests that the airline will no longer be flying to Casper, Wyoming, in 2025. A spokesperson for the airline confirmed the route’s removal to the outlet.

Delta Air Lines will stop operating daily flights from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to Casper/Natrona County International Airport (CPR) after Dec. 3, 2024, which will mark the last day of service. Historically, regional affiliate SkyWest Airlines has flown the 50-seat Bombardier CRJ-200 aircraft used for its Casper operations.

“Effective Dec. 4, 2024, SkyWest will discontinue its Delta Connection service from Casper, Wyoming. Customers with bookings beyond this date will be contacted directly to modify their travel plans. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” the spokesperson said.

The airline is expanding in Boston with the addition of two new domestic flights to Asheville, North Carolina, and Bozeman, Montana, despite losing the Casper route.

Beginning on May 10, 2025, flights to Asheville will be available on Saturdays and Sundays. An Embraer E175 regional plane will be used by Republic Airways, a Delta Connection affiliate, to conduct this service.

The Bozeman service will run in the peak winter and summer months. One daily flight in each direction will be available from Dec. 21, 2024, to Jan. 5, 2025, with Delta. Subsequently, Delta will provide weekend service from Boston to Bozeman from Feb. 15, 2025, to March 31, 2025, and from June 8, 2025, to Sept. 7, 2025.

Delta Air Lines Paused Flights to Tel Aviv

The Casper route isn’t the only route that Delta Air Lines has thrown the proverbial brakes on.

Earlier this week, the company announced that flights between JFK and the Middle Eastern city of Tel Aviv will not operate until after Dec. 31, according to an amended statement released by the airline on Thursday, Sept. 19. The decision was first made back in July. Affected clients are advised to check the status on Delta Air Lines’ exclusive app for more information since the alert is subject to further modifications.

“Delta is continuously monitoring the evolving security environment and assessing our operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports and will communicate any updates as needed,” the company said in the press release.
