00:00Delta Airlines is scaling back onboard food and beverage service on shorter flights
00:04as airlines continue looking for ways to control rising operating costs.
00:09Beginning later this month, passengers in main cabin and comfort seating on flights under 350 miles
00:15will no longer receive complimentary snacks or drinks, while longer routes will continue offering full service.
00:22The move comes as carriers across the industry face mounting pressure from soaring jet fuel prices
00:27and broader economic uncertainty.
00:30The changes also show how airlines are increasingly balancing customer experience
00:35with the financial realities of a more expensive travel environment.
