Delta Air Lines, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, formed under a certificate of incorporation filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on 16 March 1967. It also holds an active Florida foreign-for-profit registration (document number 820446, effective 12 May 1967) with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, the filing reflected in this profile’s company-information card. That Florida filing authorises Delta Air Lines, Inc. to transact business in Florida; it is not the company’s state of incorporation. The registration status on file is active.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. is a global airline headquartered at 1030 Delta Boulevard, Atlanta, Georgia 30354, adjacent to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, its principal hub. The company operates scheduled passenger and cargo air transportation, an aircraft maintenance and engineering business, the SkyMiles loyalty programme, and a vacation-package business operated through its subsidiary Delta Vacations, LLC. It is a founding member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance and maintains transatlantic and other international joint-venture and partnership arrangements with Air France-KLM, Virgin Atlantic, Aeromexico, Korean Air, LATAM Airlines and WestJet. Delta also owns Monroe Energy, LLC, which operates an oil refinery near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, supplying jet fuel to the airline.

Beyond its Atlanta hub, Delta operates significant hub and gateway operations at Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, New York-JFK and LaGuardia, and international gateways including Amsterdam, Paris-Charles de Gaulle, London-Heathrow, Seoul-Incheon, Tokyo, Mexico City, Bogota, Lima, Santiago and Sao Paulo, according to the company’s own investor-relations materials.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DAL. For the fiscal year ended 31 December 2025, the company reported consolidated operating revenue of approximately 63.36 billion US dollars, operating income of approximately 5.82 billion US dollars and net income of approximately 5.0 billion US dollars, according to its Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As of 31 December 2025, Delta reported approximately 103,000 full-time equivalent employees, of whom around 100,000 were based in the United States.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. filed its 2026 definitive proxy statement with the SEC on 24 April 2026 ahead of its annual meeting scheduled for 18 June 2026, at which shareholders are asked to elect 14 director nominees.

Shareholders

3

Delta Air Lines, Inc. is a New York Stock Exchange-listed company (ticker DAL), and its publicly available shareholder information reflects only the major holders that are required to disclose beneficial ownership under U.S. securities rules, not its complete shareholder base. As of the registry snapshot dated 4 September 2026, three institutional holders were on record: Vanguard Group Inc, reported at approximately 18.9 percent; iShares Trust, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, at approximately 2.1 percent; and Fidelity Concord Street Trust, Fidelity 500 Index Fund, at approximately 2.1 percent. Each of these is a fund-management entity holding shares in a passive, index-tracking capacity rather than as an operating or strategic investor.

More recent SEC Schedule 13G filings indicate that institutional holdings in Delta Air Lines, Inc. have shifted materially since that snapshot. In a Schedule 13G amendment filed 26 March 2026, Vanguard Group Inc reported that, following an internal reorganisation completed 12 January 2026, it no longer held shares in its own name; a related entity, Vanguard Capital Management, separately reported beneficial ownership of 47,253,241 shares, approximately 7.23 percent, as the disaggregated successor filer. BlackRock, Inc. has also disclosed a Schedule 13G position in Delta Air Lines, Inc., reported at approximately 6.6 percent as of a mid-2024 filing. These filings suggest the 18.9 percent Vanguard figure shown in the current registry snapshot reflects an earlier or differently structured reporting basis and should be treated with caution rather than as Vanguard’s present holding.

No ultimate beneficial owner has been identified for Delta Air Lines, Inc. All shareholders disclosed in official filings are investment-management entities holding shares on behalf of pooled fund investors, and Delta is a widely held public company; no individual has been identified through available filings as holding or controlling shares at a level that would establish beneficial ownership.

Shareholder disclosure for Delta Air Lines, Inc. is best described as major shareholders only: because the company is exchange-listed, only holders that cross statutory disclosure thresholds, currently reported under Schedule 13D or 13G, are publicly identified, and the great majority of its outstanding shares are held by investors below that threshold or through broker and custodian nominee accounts that are not individually disclosed.

Officers

5

The registry data for Delta Air Lines, Inc. lists 43 officer and director records in total, drawn from the company’s Florida annual-report filings, of which five appear in the company profile card: David S. Taylor and George N. Mattson (Director), Ashton B. Carter (Director), William Easter III (Director), and Kenneth Morge (Svp). All five are marked active in that filing.

External verification shows this snapshot is outdated for several individuals. Ashton B. Carter, a former U.S. Secretary of Defense, died on 24 October 2022, as reported at the time by Delta’s own newsroom; he no longer serves on Delta’s board. Delta Air Lines, Inc.’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on 24 April 2026, covering the 14 director nominees standing for election at the 18 June 2026 annual meeting, does not include Carter, George N. Mattson or William Easter III, indicating that their board service has ended even though the Florida filing still records them as active. Kenneth Morge is confirmed, via Delta’s own newsroom biography, as the company’s Senior Vice President and Treasurer, a corporate-officer role distinct from board membership.

Per the 2026 proxy statement, Delta Air Lines, Inc.’s current board comprises Edward H. Bastian (Chief Executive Officer), David S. Taylor (Non-Executive Chair), Christophe Beck, Maria Black, Willie C. W. Chiang, Greg Creed, David G. DeWalt, Leslie D. Hale, Christopher A. Hazleton (an active Delta pilot serving as the employee-representative director), Michael P. Huerta, Judith J. McKenna, Vasant M. Prabhu, Sergio A. L. Rial and Kathy N. Waller, twelve of whom are described as independent.

Recent officer and board changes confirmed in the 2026 proxy statement include the addition of Christophe Beck and Judith J. McKenna as new directors, and David S. Taylor’s move from independent director to Non-Executive Chair.

Nationality is not disclosed for any officer or director in either the Florida registry filing or the SEC proxy statement, and none is inferred here from names, addresses or country of residence. Correspondence addresses shown in the registry filing, such as 1030 Delta Blvd, Dept 982, Atlanta, are service addresses for corporate filings and do not indicate an individual’s residence or nationality. Country of residence is likewise not disclosed in the reviewed sources. Overall, officer information for Delta Air Lines, Inc. is best described as partial and, for board composition, historical: the underlying Florida filing does not reflect director changes as promptly as the company’s own SEC proxy disclosures.

Group Structure

Delta Air Lines, Inc. has no parent company. It is a publicly traded New York Stock Exchange company and sits at the top of its own corporate group; the internal registry graph accompanying this profile records 33 linked entities across 18 jurisdictions beneath it.

Delta Air Lines, Inc.’s Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2024, filed with the SEC (Exhibit 21.1, list of subsidiaries), confirms a number of direct subsidiaries, including Endeavor Air, Inc. (Georgia), which operates as a Delta Connection regional carrier; Monroe Energy, LLC (Delaware), which owns and operates an oil refinery near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania supplying jet fuel to the airline; Delta Vacations, LLC (Minnesota); Delta Flight Products, LLC, Delta Material Services, LLC, Delta Professional Services, LLC, Epsilon Trading, LLC and MIPC, LLC (all Delaware); Aero Assurance Ltd. (Vermont); New Sky, Ltd. (Bermuda); and a group of SkyMiles-branded entities incorporated in the Cayman Islands, SkyMiles IP Ltd., SkyMiles IP Holdings Ltd. and SkyMiles IP Finance Ltd., which hold intellectual property associated with the SkyMiles loyalty programme. Ownership percentages for these subsidiaries are not disclosed in the SEC exhibit. The filing notes that certain other subsidiaries are omitted from the exhibit under SEC disclosure rules, so this list is not necessarily complete.

The wider set of entities shown in the internal registry graph, including registrations described under names such as Delta Air Lines, Inc. in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines and Brazil, largely represent Delta Air Lines, Inc. operating locally under foreign branch, representative-office or company-registration rules in support of its scheduled international air services, rather than separately incorporated subsidiary companies. This distinction could not be verified entity-by-entity for every jurisdiction within available sources and should be treated as indicative rather than a confirmed relationship classification for each individual record.

Group-structure disclosure for Delta Air Lines, Inc. is best described as partial: its most significant U.S. subsidiaries are confirmed through SEC filings, but the ownership percentages, current status and precise legal relationship of the numerous smaller and non-U.S. entities shown in the registry graph have not been independently verified as part of this review.
