As the novel coronavirus speeds around the world, airlines have responded to travel restrictions and plummeting demand by canceling flights, grounding fleets, and shuttering terminals.
But Monday afternoon, Delta said it’s putting an unspecified number of passenger jets back in the air, flying out of 13 American airports and to 70 destinations overseas. Delta’s not selling any tickets for those planes, however. Rather, they’ll be operated by Delta’s cargo arm, running charter flights to cater to anyone who needs to move a package or pallet.
