History

Officially opening April 7, the newly renovated Delta Flight Museum captures the airline's unique culture and people-first values, ensuring the stories of Delta’s first 100 years will forever be etched into history. 

The true origin of the Delta name doesn’t lie solely in the Greek letter – it’s the brainchild of a woman named Catherine FitzGerald, who suggested the name to Delta’s founder as a way to pay homage to the agricultural region that was foundational to the airline’s success.
