Same issue would be at play if DL had say a 2nd daily flight. There might not be space available.
Not going to quibble! I'm on vacation! But flyerCO you started by saying passengers can easily rebook to an AF/KLM flight using the app (or web site). That is NOT correct if those flights are full. So available space has everything to do with it. My guess is AF/KLM had few if any seats. Anyway in this case delta had two DBV-JFK flighs on Saturday Aug 7th. Most or all of those pax were put on the 2nd flight of the day.
OH yeah. There was a major traffic accident along the only road that goes to DBV airport on Aug 7th morning. Our pre-arranged driver called us in a panic to say he could not make and we should just take a taxi. Cars were literally stuck for hours in traffic. Delta ultimately delayed DL 185 by almost 2 hours to accommodate all of the late arriving passengers.
