Delta getting good response from Lincoln-Atlanta route

Delta Airlines is doing pretty well on the newly started Lincoln to Atlanta route. The increase in passenger traffic in such a short of span of time has proved that the decision to restart the service which was once backed off within 3 months of starting in 2009, was correct this time. For those who are not aware, US department of transport had given a revenue guarantee of USD 0.75 million for operating to Atlanta for a minimum period of 1 year.

Delta is clearly happy as the load factor has already touched 70%, though it is cautious in showing happiness as it wants to wait for a full year to know how well this route has augured for it.
