Delta to suspend Port-au-Prince to Atlanta route, the airline's last flight to Haiti

Delta Air Lines said it will suspend direct service between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and Port-au-Prince, with the last flight out of the Haitian capital Jan 9. A spokesperson cited a "soft demand environment" for the change. "Even as Delta strengthens its overall presence throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, the airline must respond to market conditions to maintain its long-term viability," the airline said. The carrier started service to Port-au-Prince in 2009, with flights from New York JFK. Seasonal route offerings from New York ended earlier this year. Flights between Atlanta and Port-au-Prince began in 2012. Delta, which recently announced upgrades to its international main cabin, presented plans earlier this year to grow capacity on flights outside the US by 3%. <br/>
