Transportation blogger David P. Jordan reports that “nonstop service linking Peoria with [Delta Air Lines’] Minneapolis/St. Paul hub will be reduced from three to two daily roundtrips on or about January 1, 2010.” This follows on the heels of last month’s Journal Star report that overall passenger travel is down. “Total passenger traffic in August was down some 5,000 passengers, about 11 percent, compared with the same period in 2008, making this August the second-worst month for decline in 2009.”

Nonstop flights on Delta to Atlanta, Georgia, were discontinued September 1.
