AIRPORT REPORT
Delta Decides to Bulk Up in Salt Lake City:<\/strong> After hacking away at its domestic route system since its 2005 bankruptcy, Delta Air Lines<\/a><\/strong> is reversing course at its Salt Lake City hub. On June 4, Delta starts nonstop flights<\/a><\/strong> to eight additional cities. There will be daily MD-90 flights to Indianapolis<\/strong> and Nashville<\/strong>, and new regional-jet nonstops to Bismarck<\/strong> and Fargo, North Dakota<\/strong>; Des Moines<\/strong>; El Paso<\/strong>; Milwaukee<\/strong>; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota<\/strong>. In a cutback last year, Delta had stopped flying from Salt Lake City to Des Moines, El Paso and Sioux Falls. \u2026 The 224-room former Holiday Inn at 3300 West Mockingbird Lane in Dallas has been reflagged as a Wyndham<\/a><\/strong>. West Mockingbird is one of the streets adjacent to Dallas\/Love Field. \u2026 A 91-room Holiday Inn Express has opened near Ottawa International Airport. \u2026 A second Hilton Garden Inn has opened at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ROUTE MAP
Southwest Airlines Fills Another Gap: Boston\/Logan:<\/strong> Southwest Airlines says that it won't be expanding this year, a departure from its actions in previous downturns. But its overall strategy apparently won't stop the 800-pound gorilla of discount carriers from plugging some big gaps in its route map. It will launch flights to New York\/LaGuardia<\/a> later this year after buying take-off and landing slots that once belonged to ATA Airlines. And Southwest also has announced that it will be launching flights to Boston\/Logan Airport<\/a>. The airline didn't disclose specific service details, but said it will use two gates at Logan. Southwest has been surrounding Boston, the primary gateway for New England fliers, for several years. In 1996, it launched flights to Providence, Rhode Island; two years later, it added flights to Manchester, New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
