Delta Air Lines discontinues Guam service after more than 30 years

Delta Air Lines on Monday officially ended its flight operations on Guam, according to Rolenda Faasuamalie, airport marketing administrator.

The airline last September announced it would stop operating routes between Japan and Guam, with the last flight Jan. 8, because of a decline in the Japan tourism market.

United Airlines in October announced plans to scale back operations between Guam and Japan early this year, with fewer flights and smaller planes, also citing a sharp decline in traffic from Japan.
