Celebrating a Century of Aviation


On March 2, 1925, the world’s first aerial crop-dusting company and largest privately-owned aircraft fleet in the U.S. incorporated as Huff Daland Dusters began carrying mail. One hundred years later, Delta is the leading global airline, owing that success to the resilient spirit and warm service of our people – the same attributes that will fuel our success and preserve our legacy for the next 100 years.

Our Commitment

Keep Climbing isn’t just something we say—it’s what we do. We're here 100 years after our first flight because of our relentless drive to find a better way to serve our customers and our employees - and doing so in a welcoming, elevated and caring way.

Our Culture

Delta’s family is 100,000 strong, and our culture is committed to supporting the communities where we live, work and serve. A spirit of service is the foundation of everything we do, whether it’s taking care of our customers, our colleagues and our communities.

Our 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.
