cared for across every point of their Journey with us safe to say that it's a super exciting time here at tuls International Airport after reading that press release that's all the information you need to know and that regard so let's go ahead and get into my analysis of it and yeah very similar thoughts to the video that I made last August when the route was announced you know it's obviously going to be a huge link considering how much demand there is 116 people per day is a huge number and I feel like this Delta flight will really help Elevate that number along with giving more tulson and people around the community the opportunity to travel to New York for the first time so they'll be joining American Airlines as they started this service in November of 2022 and this will prove powerful as a great connection between the two cities so now you have two options obviously fairs will get better out from that and yeah so it really proves that Delta's committed to this service and they don't add rout unless that they're confident it's going to perform well and judging off those numbers I think Delta's going to do really well the inaugural flight only had I believe 22 open seats this morning which isn't bad considering it was a Wednesday obviously coming off of peak travel time so I'm really excited to see how this route performs and it looks like the bookings are only going up from what I've looked at on the seat map so it's definitely super exciting to see where Delta is moving towards with the service and once again I think it's going to prove quite powerful for them in the long run and hopefully to more new services in the future so I was able to take the first ever flight the inbound inaugural if you want to call it that from Loria airport to tuls International Airport on September 3rd 2024 which was yesterday what an awesome time it was it was a 3-hour flight and it was super convenient was able to check out the brand new facility for Delta Airlines at Loria airport and safe to say that it's one of the nicest in the United States it's clean it's modern it's sleek and it just looks absolutely wonderful if if you ever get a chance to check out that facility I highly recommend it but for the Tulsa community and what it means moving forward it is such an exciting time if you are especially a fan of Delta Airlines this is their first new route here since 2006 when they had a focus City at Orlando International Airport and again it's a super exciting time so I'm really eager to see where the future lies here at tuls International Airport on the screen now you've seen kind of some of the inaugural feses and celebrations and it was really well celebrated and really well attended so that was absolutely wonderful and again it was a wonderful time really enjoyed the experience and excited to see what Delta's next move will be here at tuls International Airport there was some representatives there today as you kind of heard about and

what you think about what's going on but yeah this is additionally one more note and they kind of talked about in the Press too but this will definitely be a huge connecting opportunity as well
