Delta Air Lines has decided to suspend service indefinitely to Freeport and Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas due to damage from Hurricane Dorian in September.

Atlanta-based Delta plans to discontinue seasonal service from Atlanta to Grand Bahama International Airport in Freeport and year-round service to Leonard Thompson International Airport in Marsh Harbour. It had already suspended service during the hurricane and now does not plan to resume the routes.

The airline said it will continue service to Nassau in the Bahamas, with year-round flights from Atlanta and New York's JFK International Airport and seasonal flights from Boston, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale and Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Delta says it will also still operate flights to the Bahamas’ Exuma International Airport and seasonal flights to North Eleuthera Airport from Atlanta.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
