They renewed it for 5 years in 2015 and it expires at the end of this year --

Also, AA moved to Concourse B in 2018 and took gates 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26 (to make room for WN). Presumably they are either sub-leasing them from DL and DL was given some sort discount in their lease as I doubt DL would let AA use them without some kind of arrangement that reduced their expenses.
I still believe that DL will retain it's CVG focus city due to the corporate contracts, but they aren't being held by any long term leases at this point (concourse C was leased until 2025, but CVG let DL out of it early so they could tear it down).
