The Atlanta-based airline said it will start cutting back on flights starting at 9 a.m., spokesman Anthony Black told the AJC.
AirTran is also thinning its schedule -- saying Thursday afternoon it will cut 32 of its flights on Friday because of the threat of snow. That includes flights in and out of Atlanta.
An AirTran spokesman said travelers should check the status of their flight online tomorrow before going to the airport.
Delta said it would scrub some flights at its Atlanta hub and on routes in and out of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina.
This is the second time in two months that Delta and other airlines have proactively canceled flights out of Atlanta in an attempt to minimize delays from the weather. In January, the airline cut 200 flights the day before snow and ice hit the Southeast.
Woah Atlanta!
