During Earth Month and beyond, there are a number of ways Delta is making progress on its path to net-zero and bringing the Delta people and customers along on the journey.
Chief Sustainability Officer Amelia DeLuca shares some ways in which Delta is already working toward achieving an overarching environmental sustainability strategy that is designed to be durable for the long term.
From welcoming back Amelia DeLuca to Delta’s Global Sustainability leadership team as CSO to continued initiatives to reduce emissions while spurring SAF production and reducing single-use-plastics on board, Delta continues to be a leader in sustainability in the aviation sector.
A transformative initiative has taken flight with the formation of Americans for Clean Aviation Fuels, of which Delta is a founding member.
Through the GREATER MSP Partnership, Bank of America, Delta Air Lines, Ecolab and Xcel Energy have established the first large-scale SAF Hub in the U.S. with unparalleled collaboration among key players committed to scaling SAF production to replace conventional jet fuel.
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the most promising lever known today to accelerate progress toward a net zero future.
For the first time, sustainable aviation fuel is delivered to Delta’s LaGuardia hub, using an existing petroleum pipeline.
This announcement is part of Delta’s ongoing commitment to protecting the planet which, since 2005, has resulted in a 9 percent decrease in emissions as Delta works toward its long-term goal of reducing its emissions
