Delta Air Lines is buying Comair Holdings, parent of Comair, in a $1.8 billion deal. Comair, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a Delta Connection regional carrier which feeds passengers from cities in the midwest and Florida to Delta's hubs in Cincinnati and Orlando. Comair chairman and chief executive David Mueller, who will serve as an advisor to Delta and is chairman of the Delta Connection Carrier Advisory Committee, says the transaction is unanimously supported. Delta says the acquisition will improve service by more closely integrating Comair's operations into its national network.
