How we got to where we are

The impressive legacy of Delta Air Lines, a longstanding leader in air travel, traces back to 1924, when Huff Daland Dusters was founded as the world's first aerial crop dusting organization. In 1928, the company was purchased and renamed Delta Air Service for the Mississippi Delta region it served. On June 17, 1929, Delta inaugurated airline service with the first passenger flights over a route stretching from Dallas, Texas to Jackson, Mississippi, via Shreveport and Monroe, Louisiana. In 1941, the company moved its headquarters from Monroe to Atlanta, Georgia.
 

To say we're going places would be an understatement

Today, Delta Air Lines operates service to more worldwide destinations than any airline with flights to hundreds of destinations throughout the world. Since 2005 Delta has added more international capacity than all other major U.S. airlines combined and is the leader in trans-Atlantic flights. To Latin America and the Caribbean, Delta offers hundreds of weekly flights to a myriad of destinations. Delta is also a founding member of SkyTeam, a global airline alliance that provides customers with extensive worldwide destinations, flights and services.
