Economist: Why fliers at RDU should watch for a rumored Delta-Korean Air joint venture
(Triangle Business Journal, February 28, 2017)

Joe Milazzo, executive director of Raleigh-based Regional Transportation Alliance, points to L.A. (and Delta's upcoming Seattle service) as another way the partnership could hold "promise for enhanced future connections to Asia and Oceania."
