	·	Delta generated third quarter pre-tax income of $363 million on operating revenue of $5.2 billion, the highest quarterly revenue in company history.

	·	Net income for the September 2007 quarter was $220 million, or $0.56 per diluted share.

	·	During the quarter, Delta continued to strengthen its balance sheet, paying down more than $1.0 billion in debt obligations.

	·	Delta has accrued almost $160 million in profit sharing through the September 2007 quarter, in recognition of the critical role of Delta employees in achieving the company’s financial targets.

Net income for the September 2007 quarter was $220 million, or $0.56 per diluted share. Delta’s pre-tax income of $363 million reflects a more than $430 million improvement over the pre-tax loss of $69 million excluding reorganization items in the third quarter of 2006^1,2. Strong revenue improvements and continued cost benefits from restructuring produced the more than 5 point improvement in Delta’s operating margin to 8.7% in the September 2007 quarter compared to the September 2006 quarter.

"I want to thank my Delta colleagues for their efforts in delivering strong improvements to our financial and operational performance,” said Richard Anderson, Delta’s chief executive officer. “As these results demonstrate, Delta has emerged as a leader in the airline industry and we intend to maintain that position. We have significant opportunities in front of us as our financial improvements, combined with the power of our people, route network and balance sheet, give us tremendous flexibility and strength as the industry continues to evolve.”

"With our successful international expansion in 2007 and more destinations planned for 2008, including new service to China and expanded service throughout Africa, we are strengthening our position as the premier global carrier,” said Glen Hauenstein, Delta’s executive vice president – network planning and revenue management. “With significant investments in areas like onboard products, new aircraft interiors, and two-class regional jets, we are committed to providing an industry-leading customer experience and making Delta a great airline to fly.”

For the September 2007 quarter, Delta’s operating expenses increased 4%, or $191 million, over the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to $79 million in profit sharing expense, higher expenses related to an increase in capacity ($154 million) and $98 million in non-cash expenses from fresh start accounting and stock-based compensation. These increases were partially offset by the continuing benefits of Delta’s restructuring initiatives and the impact of lower fuel prices. For the same period, non-operating expenses declined more than 60%, or $147 million, due primarily to improved cash flows and lower effective interest rates.

"Delta’s results demonstrate the momentum we have in our business and the opportunity we have to take our performance to the next level – improving pre-tax margins and generating strong free cash flows,” said Edward Bastian, Delta’s president and chief financial officer. “We are maintaining our disciplined approach to domestic capacity, including the elimination of 13 domestic aircraft from our fleet, while remaining focused on pursuing profitable international growth.”

“With their commitment to providing the best service possible to our customers, Delta people consistently stepped up to the challenges of record load factors, severe weather, and congested air traffic control conditions to deliver top tier operational performance this year,” said Joe Kolshak, Delta’s executive vice president – operations. “As this summer’s difficulties in the Northeast clearly point out, we must continue to work closely with the DOT, FAA and Port Authority of NY and NJ to ease congestion and ensure the needs of our customers are best served.”

During the quarter, Delta continued to strengthen its balance sheet, paying down more than $1.0 billion in debt, including its bankruptcy-related obligations to the Air Line Pilots Association and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and other debt maturities. In addition, Delta invested more than $400 million in capital expenditures, focused primarily on customer-facing initiatives, such as improvements at Delta’s Atlanta and New York-JFK hubs, and aircraft deposits.

To reduce interest rates and generate additional liquidity on the existing collateral base, Delta refinanced several debt obligations. In September, the company refinanced its spare parts credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation, providing an incremental $181 million in proceeds and lowering the interest rate on the facility. Last week, Delta issued $1.4 billion in new enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETC). This transaction refinanced $961 million in aircraft-secured debt, including Delta’s 2001-2 EETC, lowering the interest rate and deferring more than $560 million in maturities which had been due in 2010-11.

	·	Delivering industry-leading operational performance. As of the most recently reported DOT on-time data, Delta ranked #1 among the network carriers for on-time arrivals and #2 for on-time departures and completion factor. As a result, Delta has paid employees nearly $36 million in Shared Rewards payments in 2007.

	·	Winning the rights to offer nonstop flights between the world’s largest airline hub in Atlanta and Shanghai, China, effective March 30, 2008, filling a critical void in air travel today by providing 65 million residents of the Southeast direct access to the world’s fastest growing economy.

	·	Receiving recognition for outstanding service and overall distinction in the travel industry by Executive Travel Magazine, World Travel Awards and Global Traveler Magazine. Executive Travel Magazine recently voted Delta “best” in 11 categories in a single year, more than any other airline in the history of the publication.

	·	Building on the success of the largest international expansion in its history by announcing 17 new routes for the summer of 2008. Delta will offer customers increased choice from New York-JFK on 14 new international routes, including nine destinations not served by any other U.S. major airline from JFK. In addition, Delta announced service between its Salt Lake City hub and Paris – the first trans-Atlantic service ever offered from Salt Lake City and the only nonstop service by a U.S. carrier to the French capital from the western United States.

	·	Redesigning its schedule at JFK before another peak travel season to permit significant growth in international routes while helping to reduce congestion and delays at peak times. Changes Delta will make include instituting a third-bank of international departures after 7 p.m., increasing the number of flights operated with larger two-class jets, and eliminating all Delta Connection flights operated at JFK with turboprop aircraft.

	·	Improving onboard service for customers through enhanced food offerings with new domestic First Class and international BusinessElite® entrees from Chef Michelle Bernstein and new food-for-sale options from Chef Todd English in U.S. Coach Class.

	·	Continuing upgrades to the Delta and Delta Connection fleets, including the addition of more two-class regional jets featuring first class cabins, the introduction in trans-Atlantic service of Delta’s first long-range Boeing 757-200 aircraft featuring in-seat entertainment in every seat, and the introduction of the first Boeing 737-800 aircraft with in-seat entertainment at every seat and winglets to reduce fuel consumption on long-haul domestic routes.

For the September 2007 quarter, offsetting emergence-related items resulted in no change to pre-tax income. These items were the adoption of fresh start reporting, which increased pre-tax income by $50 million, combined with share-based compensation expense for emergence equity awards, which decreased pre-tax income by $50 million. In total, emergence related items increased consolidated PRASM by 0.16 cents and increased mainline non-fuel CASM by 0.21 cents.

Delta Air Lines operates service to more worldwide destinations than any airline with Delta and Delta Connection flights to 310 destinations in 54 countries. Since 2005, Delta has added more international capacity than all other major U.S. airlines combined and is the leader across the Atlantic with flights to 36 trans-Atlantic markets. To Latin America and the Caribbean, Delta offers more than 400 weekly flights to 53 destinations. Delta's marketing alliances also allow customers to earn and redeem SkyMiles on nearly 15,000 flights offered by SkyTeam and other partners. Delta is a founding member of SkyTeam, a global airline alliance that provides customers with extensive worldwide destinations, flights and services. Including its SkyTeam and worldwide codeshare partners, Delta offers flights to 475 worldwide destinations in 104 countries. Customers can check in for flights, print boarding passes and check flight status at delta.com.

4 Delta excludes from mainline unit costs expenses related to maintenance and staffing services which the company provides to third parties because these expenses are not related to the generation of a seat mile. Similarly, Delta excludes from passenger unit revenues, and includes in other revenue, revenues received for providing maintenance and staffing services to third parties. Management believes these classifications provide a more consistent and comparable reflection of Delta’s mainline operations.

5 In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy on April 30, 2007, Delta adopted fresh start reporting in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.” The adoption of fresh start reporting resulted in Delta’s becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, Delta’s consolidated financial statements after April 30, 2007 are not comparable to its financial statements for any period prior to emergence. However, to provide a basis of comparison to prior year results, Delta has combined the results for the four months ended April 30, 2007 with the five months ended September 30, 2007. References in this press release to “Successor” refer to Delta on or after May 1, 2007, giving effect to fresh start reporting. References to “Predecessor” refer to Delta prior to May 1, 2007.
