Lincoln Airport Announces Return of Delta Flights to Minneapolis Beginning May 26
The Lincoln Airport Authority (lincolnairport.com) recently announced that two daily Delta flights from Lincoln Airport (LNK) to Minneapolis will begin May 26. These new flights will provide travelers access to Delta’s worldwide network. Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines will operate the flights to Minneapolis, all aboard the CRJ200 regional aircraft. Flights are timed to provide maximum connection opportunities for both business and leisure travelers. From Minneapolis, Delta offers 280 daily flights to 100 destinations, including international locations. As passengers consider travel, Delta’s multi-layered approach to health and safety includes regular sanitizing of high-touch surfaces and face-mask requirements throughout the airport, in Delta Sky Clubs, and aboard the aircraft.
“Delta has long been a valuable partner to LNK and an imperative resource for businesses and individuals throughout Lincoln and southeast Nebraska,” said Lincoln Airport Executive Director Dave Haring, A.A.E. “We are thrilled to welcome Delta back to Lincoln and look forward to working together with them as we chart the best path for a full recovery of our critical aviation services.”
The Lincoln Airport has remained optimistic that Delta would return to serve the Lincoln community: “We’ve always been confident that Delta would return and patient in knowing they’d choose to come back when they felt the time was right,” said Lincoln Airport Authority Board Chair Nick Cusick. “Pre-COVID, Lincoln Airport saw great passenger numbers with this flight so we know there is a demand and need in our community for it and are glad that it’s returning.”
