PHOENIX — US Airways Group Inc. said that if it acquires Delta Air Lines, the carrier would continue to fly to every city that both airlines currently serve. But US Airways said yesterday the company won’t decide whether it would curtail flights to various cities until it looks at Delta’s business operations.
Senator Schumer said if it buys Delta, the carrier would make up all commercial flights in Binghamton, about half of flights in Syracuse, and more than a third of flights in Rochester, Albany, and Buffalo.
US Airways sent Mr. Schumer a response on Friday, saying that its customers in New York would still see competitive fares.
