## Resource

Delta Airlines is shutting down its Williston, North Dakota route starting September 7th, ending a decade-long service that paused during COVID but never recovered enough demand to continue. Airport director Ryan ORear admits it’s disappointing but stresses the decision is purely financial. While travelers scramble to adjust, United Airlines (operated by SkyWest) remains committed to daily flights between Denver and Williston, offering a lifeline to the region. It’s a stark reminder that air travel routes live and die by market forces. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
