TIME : 2016/3/18 11:48:29
Delta Airlines has been in charge in the United States of America for close to nine decades now and in spite of the increased competition in recent times, has managed to uphold its image and reputation. The ability of the airline to change with the times has been the inspiration for many other businesses, even those outside the aviation segment who realize that the way the airline conducts its business, is indeed among the best ways to go about things! In spite of being an old horse, the airline is in no way a slow entity on the track. Among the foremost names in the international aviation segment even today, the domestic as well as international aviation segment considers Delta Airlines a strong contender for the topmost slots in the industry.

The year was 1924 when an uncomplicated crop dusting business with its Huff Daland duster plane began carrying passengers. The Delta Air Corporation was thus born, making its foray into the passenger segment when the very idea itself was just beginning to take root in the United States. The plane used was of course the same one that was used for crop dusting operations and this meant that the passenger, and only one was allowed, sat on a makeshift chair placed in the same place where pesticides were once stored! From a vague operation that could hardly be called a passenger service, the airline is today a gigantic entity with staggering numbers on every front to its credit.

Along with its many subsidiaries, the airline today operates more than five thousand flights on a daily basis and has more than eighty thousand employees taking care of various phases of its operations. The airline has a number of hubs including its main hub at the Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The other hubs include the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, the La Guardia Airport in New York City, the Saint Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, the Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, the Memphis International Airport, the Narita International Airport in Tokyo, and the Salt Lake City International Airport.

Delta Airlines has a long list of code share partners all over the world so that its passengers may benefit not only through its own services, but also through the services of other airlines. The Sky Team Alliance too has the airline as one of the founding partners thus increasing the reputation and the credibility of the airline. The airline is in fact the world's largest airline on a number of fronts including that of fleet size and scheduled passenger numbers.
