The Judge Is In Favor Of Delta Operating In Love Field

The court goes is in favor of Delta Airlines continuing to operate in Love Field according to a ruling on Friday.

The air traveling company received good news from the federal court this week, Delta Airline can continue its operation in Dallas Love field according to a ruling on Friday.

Delta Airlines is going to be continuing its flight operations in Dallas according to the US District Judge, Ed Kinkeade, who said the air traveling company’s five flight out of Dallas to Atlanta do not interfere with Southwest Airline’s flight.  The statement by Ed Kinkeade said, “Southwest’s claim that Delta’s five flights daily unduly interferes with Southwest’s operation is simply not supported by the evidence, up until its announcement on February 26, 2015 of increased flight operations, unduly interfering with Southwest’s own operations.”

The Air traveling company also made a statement that said it is happy about the court’s decision as it is the businesses right to serve Love Field. It also said that it is looking forward to bringing the customer of the area its facilities and also numerous options of places to travel to. On the other hand Southwest is not very satisfied with the court’s decision stating that it is now evaluating its option in the future. It believes that the decision made by the federal court is only temporary and that Southwest is going to continuing providing customers with 50 nonstop places operating almost 180 flights each day.

Southwest was planning to utilize Love Field and profit from it but it did not go as the business planned, the attorney of Dallas refused to make any comments regarding the issue. According to the ruling Delta has to post a bond worth $100,000 by January 15, so that if the court later finds that Southwest has faced any damages can be given the right compensation when this issue is dealt with later.

For now, the federal judge said that Southwest cannot add flights at gates where Delta has in use for five of its flights each day, and will have to inform the court in case of reduction or changes in its flights at Love Field. The aviation director of Dallas, Mark Duebner refused to make comments on the development and the decision the court has made. The battle between these two carriers in the international market began back in 2014’s end. These two carrier had agreement earlier which allowed Delta to continue flight till July, however southwest wanted to end the deal as it made an addition of more flights at the area.

Delta stock closed at $46.60, going red by 0.85% on January 8.
