Delta to grow Cincinnati hub operations Delta plans to add flights and destinations to Cincinnati, its second-largest hub, as part of a new strategy to boost profits. "The only way we can make money in Cincinnati is by offering the most number of destinations," Delta vice president Subodh Karnik told The Cincinnati Enquirer. Between its big jet and regional jet operations, Delta operates 537 departures at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Delta lost $326 million last quarter and is on pace to lose more than $1 billion for the year. The only way to remedy that situation is to expand, Karnik said. "We want to make the hub vibrant and large in scope." Karnik said a double-digit increase in the total number of aircraft and an increase of 20 to 30 departures would be possible by the end of next year, but he would not provide specifics. The strategy calls for adding cities, primarily small or mid-size markets in the Midwest or on the East Coast.
