Delta Air Lines Inc. says high fuel costs are to blame for its decision to leave the Lansing market, taking with it 26 jobs and three flights to Cincinnati.

The Atlanta-based airline said Monday it will end service through its Comair Inc. commuter carrier at the end of August.

The Lansing State Journal says Delta dropped service from Lansing to Atlanta late last year.

Northwest Airlines Corp., UAL Corp.'s United Express and Allegiant Air will remain at Capital Region International Airport.
