NEW YORK (Reuters) — Delta Air Lines, the No. 3 U.S. carrier which has been restructuring in efforts to avoid a bankruptcy filing, is expected to slash fares and remove restrictive rules such as Saturday-night stays, Time magazine reported in its online edition on Sunday.

Delta spokesman Anthony Black declined comment, citing company policy that prohibits discussing future pricing.

Delta, whose regional airline Comair was forced to cancel about 1,100 flights on Christmas Day due to a computer glitch, is expected to overhaul its nationwide pricing policy next week, Time magazine said.

The Atlanta-based airline will halve ticket-change fees to $50 from $100 and slash fares on everything from first class to last-minute tickets, Time reported.
