Olympics
Delta’s Team USA athlete ambassadors include U.S. Olympians and Paralympians, an Olympic hopeful and gold-medal winning legends, who will support the Games next year as spectators – some for the first time.
Friends and families of U.S. Paralympians joined Delta employees to welcome home Team USA from the Paralympic Winter Games as part of a celebratory event at Salt Lake City International Airport.
On Friday, U.S. Paralympians departed from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to the Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, carried by Delta’s Team USA-only charter flight.
As Team USA touched down from the Olympic Winter Games, Delta employees with friends and families of the athletes celebrated their return at Salt Lake City International Airport.
Developed in partnership with Delta’s advertising partner Wieden+Kennedy New York, the campaign will launch on Jan. 31. Spots will run on NBC’s TODAY show, the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony, Late Night with Seth Meyers, That’s My Jam with Jimmy Fallon and more in the coming weeks.
At the Delta-hosted LAX send-off event athletes walked a red carpet and boarded their aircraft in a private hangar.
The custom-painted A330-900, which will start flying Dec. 18, will be assigned primarily to trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific routes.
