Delta Air Lines Inc. is moving its 40-person Delta Connection group from Minnesota to Atlanta. Delta Connection is Atlanta-based Delta's regional operation, which contracts shorter routes to a half-dozen smaller carriers. The Twin Cities employees manage Delta's relationships with those carriers in jobs that include finance, operations and legal. They're being asked to relocate to Atlanta at the end of the summer. The regional airlines that fly Delta Connection routes are ExpressJet, Compass, GoJet Airlines, Endeavor Air, Shuttle America and SkyWest. The move is "part of a broader plan to elevate our regional business to better meet our mainline standards," Delta Connection Senior Vice President Cyril Turner wrote in a May 5 global memo to Delta employees that the airline released to the Business Journal. "Improving the Delta Connection brand in operational reliability and integrity, financial performance and customer experience is a critical component of Delta’s 2015 Flight Plan and yet another way we can continue to innovate and keep Delta ahead of the pack," he continued.

Delta hired Endeavor Air Chief Operating Officer Barry Wilbur as managing director of Delta Connection's operations, Turner said. Read the full memo below. Based in Atlanta, Turner is also president of Delta Global Services and Delta Private Jets (read his bio here).

Permitting procedures are relatively similar for all projects. For information on how to obtain a permit and what it will cost see our handout “Procedure for Obtaining Land Use Permits” and the current fee schedule.

In most cases, a permit is not needed for new siding, windows or shingles, or remodeling projects that do not affect the exterior footprint. Please check with our office to determine if your project requires a permit. Some projects may require a variance or a conditional use permit.
