Celebrating 100 years of the climb: Delta releases 2024 “Delta Difference” Report
The 2024 Delta Difference report is a celebration of Delta’s mindset to keep climbing toward a more sustainable future of travel, while taking care of communities alongside the airline’s greatest differentiator – its people.

For a century, Delta has been a company that puts people first – and that core value continues to shape how the global airline cares for employees, customers, communities and the environment. The 2024 Delta Difference report is a celebration of Delta’s mindset to keep climbing toward a more sustainable future of travel, while taking care of communities alongside the airline’s greatest differentiator – its people.
“Delta embarked on our 100th year in 2024,” said CEO Ed Bastian. “While some companies credit innovation or leadership for this kind of milestone, at Delta, it’s because of our people, who are the Delta Difference, that we’ve made it this far and will continue soaring into the next century.”
Creating a more sustainable and inclusive business is a journey. As part of Delta’s ongoing commitment to transparency, the company began sharing Corporate Responsibility Reports in 2009. For the latest visit: difference.delta.com.
“Rooted in our people and culture, the Delta Difference has been our strongest competitive advantage for 100 years,” Ed added. “Every day, in everything we do, our more than 100,000 employees live out our core values of Integrity, Care, Resilience and Servant Leadership by delivering welcoming, elevated and caring service. We remain committed to attracting, retaining and developing people who understand and are committed to delivering the high-quality service that Delta has long been known for.”
