Effective May 2, 2009, Delta Airlines will upgrade the existing Detroit service at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport to regional jets. Moving from Saab 340 turboprop 34 seat aircraft to Canadair Regional Jet 50 seat aircraft will increase available seats by 13,000 on an annual basis, reduce flight time, and increase comfort (less noise). The regional jet is also jetbridge-compatible. Delta’s investment in the Central Virginia region is indicative of its market strength, and the Airport is committed to making Delta’s new upgrade successful. Detroit Metroplitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is served by 17 airlines, with 6 of those foreign-flag carriers. DTW offers non-stop service to more than 160 destinations around the globe.
Also serving CHO with 3 daily flights to/from Atlanta, Delta Airlines is the only ALL-JET airline at CHO. The twice-daily Detroit service at Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport was initiated by Northwest Airlines in 2004.
