Delta Air Lines (Atlanta) is ending service from Atlanta to both Florence and Hilton head Island, both in South Carolina on November 1. The Mesaba Airlines SAAB 340Bs were operated on the two routes as Mesaba gradually withdraws the type from service and the ATL hub. Delta is also dropping service to Lynchburg, VA and London, ON.
