- forapurpose 8y agoThanks for the link. Excerpted: In a statement, Hiroko Okada from the corporate communications department of Delta Air Lines attributed this decision to “unsustainable pressure,” including lower demand, in the Micronesia market. and The shrinking Japanese market that travels to the Pacific and Micronesia was prevalent and the service flights cuts were inevitably foreseen. Concepcion said that MVA saw it with Delta’s pullout in Guam, United Airlines’ nearly 50-percent reduction in flights between Japan and Guam, and now with Delta’s flight suspension for Saipan and Palau. At least, there's plenty of support for Leary's claim.
