Delta Air Lines, Inc. is one of the world's largest airlines, providing passenger air transportation throughout the United States and around the globe. The company operates a hub-and-spoke network with hubs in Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Salt Lake City, and Seattle, flying to hundreds of destinations across six continents. Delta also operates regional flying through Delta Connection carriers and maintains partnerships including joint ventures with international airlines. The company provides mainline jet service, regional service, cargo transportation, aircraft maintenance services, and vacation packages. Founded in 1924 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Delta has built one of the strongest airline franchises through operational excellence, customer service, premium product offerings, and corporate relationships. The company was devastated by COVID-19 travel collapse but has recovered through industry recovery and strong business travel resurgence. Delta benefits from premier market positions, brand strength, operational reliability, loyalty program value, and relatively strong balance sheet among legacy carriers. The company faces fuel cost volatility, labor cost inflation, competitive pressures, economic sensitivity, and operational challenges. Delta continues to invest in fleet modernization, premium products, customer experience, and technology while delivering profitable growth.
