It most likely didn't produce the amount of revenue Delta was looking for.

Because DVA follows real Delta. If Delta ends a route, DVA will too.

DVA updates their schedule daily. Our schedule has every single Delta route and all Delta codeshare routes. And what Kyle said. If RW Delta ends a route we end it aswell

Ah - then why don't they become "historic" routes?

Because the database would be massive and a mess. Put an issue in and they may add it since it's of historical significance.

Garen,the reason it isnt a historical route is because historical routes are Flights terminated but with retired aircraft. So this will become a historical route once DAL retires their T7 fleet

Luis - that's kind of what I thought. Makes sense to me. DVA has been pretty open to adding "new" historic routes once they are identified.

They still have AMS-BOM, the nonstop did not generate enough revenue in ATL and JFK has too much competition to that destination with Air India, Jet Airways and Continental dominating.
