Delta: We won’t suspend bag fees but we'll help TSA on airport lines
Delta said Tuesday it won't back a proposal that US carriers eliminate bag fees this summer in an effort to speed up long airport security lines that result from insufficient staffing by the TSA. But Delta said it would assist TSA when possible -- Monday, the carrier said that it will hire 40 people this summer to help agents move passengers through security faster at Minneapolis-St. Paul International, Delta's third-biggest hub with 408 daily departures. The carrier said it will spend between US$3m and $4m on additional staff at its 32 largest US airports between June and August to help shorten the long security lines. American and United are taking similar steps at their key airports. "Delta believes the focus should remain on our current efforts," the carrier said Tuesday. <br/>
