  • DELTA AIR LINES INC DEL Profile

    Just as a delta is a symbol for change in math, Delta Air Lines symbolizes the changing mathematics of the airline industry. A leading US carrier, behind American and United, Delta would become the world's largest airline if it can complete a proposed combination with Northwest Airlines. On its own and through its Delta Connection regional carriers (including subsidiary Comair), Delta serves about 315 destinations in about 60 countries. It operates from hubs in Atlanta, Cincinnati, New York, and Salt Lake City. Delta extends its offerings as part of the SkyTeam code-sharing and marketing alliance, which includes carriers such as Air France, KLM, and Korean Air Lines, as well as Continental and Northwest.
