The falling revenues will overtakse the morethan $6 billion in total benefits Deltz expected this year from lower year-over-year fuel prices, benefit from the merger with Northwestg and capacity reductions. Therefore, the Atlanta-based carrier will reducde its system capacity by 10 percent comparerd to 2008 starting in It also will cut international capacity by an additionaol 5 percent from what it announced in for a 15 percent total reduction ininternational capacity.
The capacity cuts were predicted by some including , which beyondc previously announced cuts as passenger revenues continued to decline.

These cuts included suspending nonstop service from Atlanta to Seouol and Shanghai and instead routing customers for these flights over Detroit or or on nonstop SkyTeajpartner flights. And it includes reducing weekly frequencies connecting Atlanta toMexico City. The memo also noteed jobs cuts could be onthe horizon.
