Delta Seeking Airline Subsidy

Delta Airlines has filed a notice saying it can no longer provide service at the International Falls Airport without government help.

The airline, which merged with Norwest Airlines last fall, filed a notice with the U-S Department of Transportation to discontinue service because it is no longer financially self sustaining.

The move is considered a formality for the airline to be able to apply for money under the essential air service program.

A decision on the subsidy is expected in the next 90 days.
