Onboard videos celebrate America – July 1
In the upcoming July 1 quarterly onboard welcome video with CEO Ed Bastian, airing across the global fleet, Delta will commemorate America’s 250th anniversary by honoring the freedoms, sacrifices, and rich cultural diversity that define the nation. This commemorative, pre-departure welcome video will play across more than 165,000 seatback screens, the most of any U.S.-based carrier.
As a proudly American airline, the video (‘An Occasion to Remember’) will draw inspiration from these enduring values, fueling more than a century of commitment to delivering elevated, world-class travel experiences that connect people and communities across the globe.
Delta will also launch the Star, Stripes & Stories collection of films onboard beginning July 1 – these are a cinematic tribute to ambition, freedom, and legacy where personal journeys and historic moments come together on screen. These titles include:
- Delta’s Why We Dream
