Delta Airline has reportedly canceled several flights due to changes in its schedule and personnel, as well as considering the possible end of free meals on its flights.
The flying company said it is making changes to its in-flight food and beverage service, including removing the offering from about 450 daily flights, or about 9%.
“Beginning May 19, Delta is adjusting onboard beverage service to create a more consistent experience across our network,” a Delta spokesperson said.
As reported by USA TODAY, if anyone is taking a short-haul Delta Air Lines flight this summer, they won’t be getting food and beverage service.
The Atlanta-based airline carrier will no longer provide any food or beverage service on flights of 349 miles or less, including routes such as Los Angeles to San Francisco. Delta will also offer full food and beverage service for Delta Comfort and Delta Main Cabin passengers on flights of 350 miles or more, which accounts for about 14% of its daily flights.
“Even on the small number of flights without beverage service, our crew will remain visible, available and focused on taking care of our customers, as they do on every flight,” the airline said.
Exceptionally, Delta First customers will continue to receive full service on all flights.
