For the fifth year in a row, readers of business travel and distribution technology magazine The Beat have chosen Delta as their Most Admired Airline and Overall Most Admired Supplier in the annual Beat Readers’ Choice Awards.

Given out during this week’s The Beat Live conference in Chicago, the awards were based on a poll that asked readers to choose the company in each of the six supplier segments that they “most admire for its policies, management style and service for business clients.”

“This award says loud and clear that our customers trust Delta to consistently provide exceptional service and leadership across the industry,” said Bob Somers, Senior Vice President —Global Sales. “Thank you to all the 80,000 worldwide employees – together we drive success, year in and year out, in every part of this business.”
