Rome this winter will lose all nonstop air service operated by U.S. carriers from the New York area,

as American, Delta and United cut seasonal service, according to a research note from Deutsche Bank airline analyst Michael Linenberg. Italian flag carrier Alitalia, which codeshares with SkyTeam partner Delta, will maintain nonstop service between the two cities, but "even the Italian airline's capacity for the last three months of 2012 is expected to be down 9 percent from a year ago," according to Linenberg. He added that "American, Delta and United have all indicated that their metal will be serving the market by spring 2013."
