- Share via
Delta Air Lines said that it had received few cancellations since it disclosed a threat against its transatlantic operations. The airline said that only four dozen of 5,000 customers with reservations for transatlantic flights had canceled trips. Delta announced Thursday that it had received a telephone threat at its Dublin, Ireland, sales office, but the caller did not specify a flight, date or city. The airline said it notified the Federal Aviation Administration and took steps to increase security but that it believes the threat is a hoax. Delta flies to eight European cities from six U.S. airports, including Los Angeles International.
