Delta Air Lines ready to serve during holiday season

Delta Air Lines is prepared to carry approximately 1.8 million anticipated customers to visit friends and family throughout the United States during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday travel period, from November 16 - 25.

The airline has completed a comprehensive review of equipment and staffing needs; developed contingency plans for severe winter weather; and is in close coordination with airport authorities and vendors to ensure a smooth traveling experience throughout the entire winter season.

“Despite the challenges of airspace congestion in the Northeast, as with any heavy travel period Delta has plans in place to meet the demands of high passenger loads expected during the upcoming holiday season. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Delta people, our customers can count on award-winning customer service and facility improvements to deliver a stress-free travel experience," said Joe Kolshak, Delta’s executive vice president of Operations.

“We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the FAA to implement real solutions to Northeast airspace congestion that bring short-term improvements without artificially limiting capacity or treating U.S. carriers unfairly and look toward long-term solutions that allow us to meet growing demand for air travel.”
