Delta Airlines retools Tupelo service again

TUPELO — Delta Airlines’ switch of a morning flight from Tupelo to Memphis to the afternoon in April will be short-lived.

Delta announced today that Tupelo Regional Airport will be back to three daily flights in June.

Delta spokesman Kent Landers told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that the current 7 a.m. Mesaba flight to Memphis will move to after 5 p.m. on April 5 but only until May 1.

Landers says the return of the three-flight schedule will come on June 10, with morning and afternoon flights to Memphis and a midmorning flight to Atlanta.

Landers says the April change was caused by “aircraft scheduling issues.”
