Delta Air Lines plans to suspend service to the Hilton Head Island Airport again this winter but will resume in early 2011, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Service will end Nov. 1 and resume March 3, Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter said.
Delta conducted a similar suspension last year.

This year's plan is "a good sign" for the future of the route between Hilton Head Island and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Banstetter said.
Delta's partner, Mesaba Airlines, runs four flights a day Thursdays through Mondays and three flights a day Tuesdays and Wednesdays using a Saab 340 turboprop plane. Delta officials plan to continue that schedule when the service restarts next year, Banstetter said.
The Saab planes can hold 34 passengers, but the airline sells only 21 of those seats because of the weight limit required for the 4,300-foot runway, which airport officials believe is the shortest with commercial service in the continental United States.
