Airlines must maintain minimum service levels in order to receive government assistance but many petitioned to stop service to airports with low passenger demand.
Both United Airlines (O:UAL) and Delta Air Lines (N:DAL) won tentative approval to halt flights to 11 airports, while JetBlue Airways Corp (O:JBLU), Alaska Airlines (N:ALK) and Frontier Airlines were approved to stop flights to five airports each.
The department said all airports would continue to be served by at least one air carrier. Despite some objections to the tentative list made public May 22, the department did not make any changes on the airports the airlines will be able to stop serving.
