“We look forward to offering our customers the opportunity to visit the stunning coast line of Northern California or to explore the majestic redwood trees in one of America’s greatest national parks,” said Bob Cortelyou, Delta’s senior vice president – Network Planning. “With this new destination, Arcata-Eureka residents will have the ability to travel coast to coast via Delta’s convenient connecting hub in Salt Lake City which offers flights to more than 106 destinations, including 10 international destinations.”

“I am proud of our community's efforts to develop this partnership and know that it will reap benefits for both Delta and the Redwood Coast. This new service will open up great opportunities for convenient travel that will benefit businesses and residents of Humboldt County,” said Jacquelyn Hulsey, director of aviation for Humboldt County, Calif. “I look forward to using the new service and encourage everyone to support it.”
