Delta to relaunch direct flights from Syracuse to Minneapolis–St. Paul in June 2024

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) plans to relaunch daily, year-round, nonstop flights from Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) to Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport (MSP) next June.

The daily nonstop flights between SYR and MSP are scheduled to resume June 7, 2024. the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) announced Monday.

Atlanta, Georgia–based Delta Air Lines last offered this route in March 2020, the SRAA noted.

Nonstop flights from Syracuse to Minneapolis–St. Paul are scheduled to depart Syracuse at about 6:45 a.m. with an estimated arrival time into MSP at 8:15 am (central time).

Delta’s Airbus 319 aircraft with 132 seats in a three-class configuration will service the route, per the announcement.

This air service will provide “convenient connections to key” western markets, including San Francisco and San Jose in California, as well as Boise, Idaho, where Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) is headquartered, SRAA noted.

Micron Technology plans to build a massive semiconductor campus at the White Pine Commerce Park in the town of Clay.

The flights will also provide “convenient” connectivity to Delta’s MSP – Tokyo, Japan route, which SRAA contends will be additionally beneficial to Micron “and other members of our Central New York business community.”

“The resumption of daily, year-round, nonstop service from Syracuse to MSP is a huge win for both our business and leisure travelers,” Jason Terreri, SRAA executive director, said in a news release. “Central New York’s travel demand — especially westward — continues to soar and the addition of this daily service helps meet that demand.”

Flights on the resumed route went on sale over the weekend and can be viewed, along with specific inbound and outbound schedules, at Delta.com, SRAA said.

The announcement of the resumed Delta flights to Minneapolis–St. Paul comes about three weeks after the SRAA announced that low-cost carrier Sun Country Airlines plans to launch twice-weekly seasonal flights from Syracuse to the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport, starting next June 6 and running through Sept. 1.
