About Delta Air Lines
Delta Air Lines is a major American airline headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with roots tracing to a crop-dusting operation founded in Macon, Georgia in 1924. Delta evolved into a passenger carrier through the 1930s and has grown to become one of the two largest airlines in the world by revenue and passenger volume. The company's mission is to connect people and places across a global route network while delivering a premium customer experience that commands fare premiums over competitors.
