New service from St. Louis, MO
---Due to the recent cutbacks that American Airlines has shown at St. Louis-Lambert International Airport, we have decided to expand our current services from that city. Not only will we expand our current four daily nonstop flights to Orlando, we will also be adding new cities in Florida. The cities that will recieve service to St. Louis will be Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale and Daytona Beach. Due to the expansion, we will be taking over the D Concourse. "We feel we have a good presence at STL, and there is no better time to add the flights than now." Alex Trude, St Louis Delta Express VA Airport Manager. "We have been happy with our success at STL, with about 75% of all Orlando flights have been booked solid, and we have been approached by passengers asking why we do not serve more Florida destinations. An additional of two more flights will be added to Orlando and one daily flight to Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale and Daytona Beach will be started November 1. Should these be deemed succesful, we will add more flights to those cities in January of 2004."

Our Safety On Board
---Due to the recent scare of finding box cutters on two Southwest Flights, the FAA has ordered a complete check on all aircrafts for other suspicious packages. It has been deemed safe for Delta Exress Virtual Airlines to continue their flights. We had minimumal delays, and only one cancellation due to a Nashville to Orlando flight being double checked. "We give pride in our security system and mechanics, and we are glad they are part of our team" Alex Trude, Vice President, Delta Express Virtual Airlines. "We worked closely with the FAA to ensure we followed all procedures and to show we are one of the safest airlines to fly on. We thank them and our Delta Express Team for the cooperation" As of 9:36pm all flights have been continued on without any trouble, delays or cancellations other then the usual traffic activity or weather, anything unrelated to the security scare.
