Delta CEO says Heathrow plan to relocate airline's operations is 'deeply disappointing'
Nov 2 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines DAL.N CEO Ed Bastian said on Monday that Heathrow Airport's decision to move the US carrier's operations to Terminal 4 from a terminal shared with Virgin Atlantic was "deeply disappointing and bad for airline consumers".
Here are some more details:
Delta said in a statement on Monday it would pursue all available remedies to correct the decision and urged UK's Heathrow to reconsider
Bastian criticized the move as "short-sighted"
He added that Delta and Virgin Atlantic had served millions of customers through their co-located operation in Terminal 3 for more than a decade
Delta and Virgin Atlantic provide UK travelers with a valuable competitive alternative across the Atlantic, Bastian said
"Separating our operation undermines years of investment and disregards the tightly integrated customer benefits that we offer in our co-located terminal"
