Delta Air Lines
Definition
Delta Air Lines, Inc. is a major multinational airline headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, operating one of the largest commercial fleets in the world with hubs across the United States and extensive international routes.
Founded in 1924 as a crop-dusting operation in the Mississippi Delta, it has evolved into a global carrier symbolized by its triangular 'widget' logo representing the Greek letter delta Δ.
Known for its SkyMiles loyalty program and partnerships in the SkyTeam alliance, Delta is often praised for reliability but playfully roasted for its love of gate changes.
