Delta cuts flights from Myrtle Beach airport

Myrtle Beach International Airport will lose more flights this fall.


Delta Airlines has announced it will reduce service from Myrtle Beach to Atlanta and eliminate flights to other cities, beginning in September.


A Delta spokesman says service to Atlanta will go from seven flights a day now to five, and flights to Cincinnati and New York will be cut entirely.


The cuts are part of Delta's 13 percent overall reduction in flights to cope with higher fuel costs.


Delta reported a loss of more than $1 billion in the second quarter of this year.
