On June 5, 2020, Delta announced that it would indefinitely suspend service starting July 8 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Current operations As of August 2019, American Eagle service is two flights daily to Charlotte on the CRJ-700; Delta Connection had three flights daily to Detroit with CRJ-200 regional jets (currently suspended); and United Express has two flights daily to Chicago–O'Hare also with ERJ-145 or E-170 aircraft.
