Our Story

Delta's Impact

Delta came from humble beginnings, a small crop-dusting company that carried its first passenger just 26 years after the Wright Brothers historic flight. Today, we’ve flown as many as 200 million customers every year to more than 290 destinations around the world. As we grew from a small regional carrier into one of the world’s largest airlines, our fundamental values have never changed: A commitment to serving our customers, our people and our communities that underscores every decision we make. Our mission is to connect the world and strive to have a positive impact on people’s lives.
