About

Delta Air Lines was founded in 1924 in Macon, Georgia, as a crop dusting operation, and has evolved through a century of consolidation, innovation, and reinvention into one of the world's premier airlines. Following its emergence from bankruptcy in 2007, Delta executed one of the most successful corporate turnarounds in aviation history, becoming the industry's most profitable and operationally reliable major carrier. Delta's mission is to connect the world with excellence, safety, and authentic hospitality.\n\nDelta operates a hub-and-spoke network from primary hubs in Atlanta, New York (JFK and LGA), Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City. Its fleet of 900+ aircraft serves 300+ destinations across six continents. Delta's premium cabin strategy — expanding Comfort+, Delta One, and Delta One Suite offerings — has been a key revenue driver, along with its co-branded American Express card program, which generates billions in annual revenue from card spending and miles redemption. The SkyMiles loyalty program serves over 100 million enrolled members.\n\nDelta reported FY2024 revenue of $61.6B, a 6.2% year-over-year increase, with net income of $3.5B and service to 200M+ customers. EPS guidance for 2025 exceeds $7.35. Delta's operational reliability, premium brand positioning, and diversified revenue streams from loyalty and ancillaries have made it the most consistently profitable U.S. airline over the past decade, and a benchmark for operational excellence across the global aviation industry.
