Delta Air Lines expands its network with two new routes to Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) in Bentonville.
The airline will launch daily service from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to XNA.
The Detroit-Bentonville route commences on November 11, 2024, while the Salt Lake City-Bentonville service begins on February 13, 2025
Delta Connection’s fellow carrier will operate these routes, with Endeavor Air flying a 76-seat Bombardier CRJ-900 on the DTW-XNA route and SkyWest Airlines deploying a 70-seat Embraer 175 regional jet on the SLC-XNA route.
Delta aims to enhance connectivity and options for customers traveling to and from Bentonville’s growing business market through its Detroit and Salt Lake City hubs. This strategic move targets business travelers, despite overall business travel not yet recovering to pre-pandemic levels.
