Delta's Centennial

Join us this year as we celebrate 100 years of Delta.

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.
