CINCINNATI – Delta Air Lines, struggling to avoid bankruptcy reorganization and recoup business lost to low-fare competitors, said Thursday it will reduce fares by as much as 60 percent for flights out of its Cincinnati hub.

No Cincinnati fare, including last-minute walk-ups, will be higher than $499 one-way in economy or $599 one-way in first class within the 48 contiguous states, Delta officials said. International flights are not involved. A Saturday night stay-over will not be required.
