Every morning, Delta Air Lines' Flight 5382 departs from T.F. Green International Airport in Providence, Rhode Island, bound for New York's LaGuardia Airport. This early morning flight is part of a routine schedule that will soon come to an end. On December 23rd, 2024, Delta will cease its service between Providence and LaGuardia, marking the end of its flights from Providence to other Northeast hubs.
The decision to discontinue this route is attributed to several factors. According to the Centre for Aviation, Delta will maintain services only to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport from Providence.
In recent years, T.F. Green Airport has seen significant changes in its service offerings post-COVID-19 pandemic. However, Delta has opted not to expand its operations there but rather focus on increasing routes from Boston Logan International Airport.
