Delta Airlines will suspend operations at Worcester Regional Airport beginning October 1.

According to Massport, the move doesn't come as a surprise.

In an email to Spectrum News 1, a Massport spokesperson said, "The move is not unexpected, as every major airline has had to make tough decisions at a time when demand for flying and travel is so low. We continue to have conversations with our airline partners and look forward to commercial service returning to Worcester in the near future."

Delta offers daily flights from Worcester to its hub in Detroit. 

In a statement from Delta, a spokesperson said, “As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s ongoing impact to demand, we will temporarily suspend service to Worcester Regional Airport (ORH) effective Oct. 1. As demand recovers, we hope to resume service to ORH in the future. Customers whose travel is impacted as a result of this service suspension will be reaccommodated. We continue to evaluate our overall network schedule based on the evolving nature of COVID-19, customer demand, government travel regulations and federal health guidelines.”

Worcester Airport's two other major airlines -- JetBlue and American -- suspended flights earlier this year. JetBlue plans to resume flights out of Worcester on October 1.
