Fitch downgrades Memphis airport
<img src='http://assets.bizjournals.com/memphis/blog/morning_call/Morning%20Call%20sun%20Memphis*100.jpg?v=1'>Fitch Ratings downgraded Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority's bond rating, but revised the rating outlook to Stable from Negative.
The airport's $415.5 million worth of bonds were downgraded to "A" from "A+" mostly due to Delta Air Lines Inc.'s service decline at Memphis International Airport. Local passenger traffic is projected to drop below 4 million, which translates into a more than 30 percent enplanement loss from the peak levels in 2008, according to Fitch.
