SALT LAKE CITY, June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Whether it's the shimmering gold of the Aspens or the brilliant white of snow-covered slopes, Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) invites customers to take in all the scenic splendor of Colorado with the only non-stop service between Salt Lake City and Steamboat Springs. Delta Connection carrier Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) will operate seasonal daily non-stop flights from Sept. 10 through Dec. 16, 2005, and Delta will provide mainline seasonal non-stop service daily between the two cities from Dec. 17, 2005, through April 1, 2006.

"Our Salt Lake City customers and connecting passengers will appreciate this great new opportunity to visit the Colorado Rockies and see all that the region has to offer in the fall," said Doug Blissit, vice president-Network Analysis. "And as the winter season gets under way, Delta will continue to provide daily service to 'Ski Town USA(R)'."

ASA will fly the popular Bombardier Regional Jet between the two cities, Sept. 10 through Dec. 16, 2005, and Delta plans to serve the market with the Boeing 737-300 aircraft, Dec. 17, 2005 through April 1, 2006.
