Delta Air Lines<\/a> is bulking up at three East Coast airports: its New York\/Kennedy<\/a> hub; New York\/LaGuardia<\/a> and Washington\/National<\/a>. At Kennedy, Delta is adding flights to John Wayne\/Orange County and San Antonio on September 7. From LaGuardia, it adds flights to Nashville and St. Louis on Sept. 7. And on Oct. 31, it begins flights from National to Hartford; Columbus; Jacksonville; Orlando; Miami; Tampa; and St. Louis. At the same time, however, Delta will drop National-Huntsville service, Hartford-Los Angeles flights and make further cuts at its Cincinnati<\/a> hub. Effective Sept. 7, flights to five cities — Albany and Buffalo, New York; Charleston, West Virginia; Des Moines; and Little Rock — will disappear. That will cut Delta’s Cincinnati presence to about 160 daily flights, down from a high of more than 600.<\/p>\n
