Delta Air Lines has scrubbed plans to resume its route from New York to Cairo, after suspending the service in February amid the revolution in Egypt.
The airline had previously planned to resume the service, but has canceled those plans due to weakness in demand, according to Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter.
Delta is also suspending its flights from New York to Amman, Jordan as of June 1. The cuts are part of the airline's efforts to adjust to higher fuel costs by cutting its trans-Atlantic flight capacity by 4 percent. Delta estimates its fuel costs will increase by $3 billion this year compared with 2010.
Delta's joint venture partners Air France and KLM will continue to fly to Amman and Cairo via Paris and Amsterdam, and Delta said it is contacting customers to rebook them.
