Delta Now Offers Daily Nonstop Service from New Orleans to New York - LaGuardia

Delta Airlines recently announced that it would instate a new daily nonstop service between New Orleans Louis Armstrong International (MSY) and New York - LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Before Katrina, American Airlines offered a daily nonstop service to LaGuardia, but terminated it afterwards. For quite a while, there was a major void in air service to New York, and Delta has helped to fix that problem. Shortly after Katrina, Continental was the only airline which offered service to the Big Apple. All of their flights were full, so prices were in the sky (no pun intended). Not anymore! Delta would plan to use the dominant aircraft in the fleet: The MD-88. In my personal opinion, this new flight will boost commerce and travel to New Orleans. This will also provide an opportunity for competition, which will lower airfares. Delta will begin the service immediately.
