The U.S. Department of Transportation will probe whether Delta Air Lines Inc. engaged in "unfair and deceptive practices" to block the development of a major airport at Paulding County's Silver Comet Field, Reuters reported in an exclusive.
DOT launched the "informal investigation" following complaints from the Paulding County Board of Commissioners and the developers of the airport project, Reuters said.
"Paulding County Commission Chairman David Austin and Robert Aaronson, Chairman of Propeller Airports and a former senior official at FAA and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said Delta wants to preserve its dominance in Atlanta," Reuters reported. "They said Delta is 'interfering' with efforts to develop low-cost air service around Atlanta, even though the Silver Comet plan has been 'endorsed by Paulding County, the State of Georgia and the FAA.'"
