Delta Air Lines

Major Atlanta airline

Delta Air Lines is a major American airline headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the world's largest by passengers carried and fleet size.

Founded in 1924 as a crop-dusting operation, it evolved into a passenger carrier and now operates an extensive domestic and international network.

The name derives from the Mississippi Delta region where it began.
