Operations

Delta is deploying cutting-edge technology like AI and automation to ensure your bags arrive on time, during the holidays and beyond.

Following the official reopening of the U.S. government Wednesday night, Ed appeared on CBS Mornings to reassure customers that Delta is ready for holiday travel. 

Located on the grounds of Salt Lake City International Airport, Delta’s future 48,000-square-foot-cargo facility marks the airline’s continued investment and growth in Utah.

With icy conditions throughout the Gulf Coast and Southeast region, many airports remain closed Wednesday. Delta teams are in constant contact with all aviation stakeholders to safely resume operations as quickly and safely as possible. 

The safety of Delta people and customers is of the utmost importance as we manage flight delays, cancellations and the resumption of service when conditions allow.

Delta is the first U.S. commercial operator to receive FAA Certificate Management Office concurrence for our plans to use these drones for maintenance inspections across our fleet.

Delta is expecting nearly 9 million customers from Dec. 21-Jan. 7 as the airline builds on a strong November and Thanksgiving holiday travel period.
