About Delta Air Lines
Delta Air Lines (ICAO: DAL) is a major American airline known for its extensive global network and long history in aviation.
Delta Air Lines traces its origins to Huff Daland Dusters, Inc., founded on March 2, 1925, in Macon, Georgia, as the world's first aerial crop-dusting company. The company later moved to Monroe, Louisiana, and was incorporated as Delta Air Service in 1928, named after the Mississippi Delta region. Passenger operations began on June 17, 1929, with flights from Dallas, Texas, to Jackson, Mississippi. The company officially became Delta Air Lines, Inc. in 1945 and moved its headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1941, where it remains today.
Delta operates a vast network with nine major hubs across the United States: Atlanta (its largest in terms of total passengers and departures), Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York–JFK, New York–LaGuardia, Salt Lake City, and Seattle/Tacoma. The airline, including its regional subsidiaries and contractors operating under the Delta Connection brand, manages over 5,400 daily flights serving 325 destinations in 52 countries across six continents, establishing a significant domestic and international presence.
As of October 2025, Delta's mainline fleet consists of 986 aircraft, making it one of the largest commercial airline fleets globally.

Delta is notably the world's largest operator of the Airbus A220, Boeing 717, Boeing 757, Boeing 767, and Airbus A330 aircraft subfleets.
