– cites declining passenger loads, revenueA significant decline in passenger loads and by extension, loss of revenue,Soccer Jerseys China, has been outlined in an official statement as the primary reason for the imminent departure of Delta Airlines from the local skies.Sarah Lora, Delta’s General Manager, Corporate Communications,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, Latin American and Caribbean,Wholesale Stitched Jerseys, stated that “Delta Air Lines will close its station in Georgetown,Cheap Jerseys Store, Guyana, discontinuing flights between the John F.
