DL does the TANGO
 

DL officially announced yesterday, after weeks of rumours, that it was introducing a low-cost subsidiary carrier along the lines of TANGO. Will be interesting to read the details and see the route system.

how goes the proverb...

imitation is the highest form of flattery! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Didn't DL have a go (and fail miserably) at a low-cost airline a couple years ago?

They're still operating their low-fare airline, "express." They're going to overhaul and reintroduce it, though...

There is no NR or info on their website? Please post a link with official details.

Unless you are posting from the future, Delta will officially annouce it's new low cost carrier on Wednesday, November 20

Read this in the international edition of the HERALD TRIBUNE and USA TODAY which were distributed Friday/Saturday in Europe. There was also a small item in yesterday's REPORT ON BUSINESS. No links were available since I had no access to the online editions.

Some pretty close guesses here I would think:

It's deja vu all over again:

The surprise for me is that Delta are setting up so many staff functions, i.e. Personnell, Accounting, Safety, Customer Service.

They are really seperating this part from mthe rest of the airline and subjecting themselves to more internal costs.
