Delta’s Sustainability Strategy

We believe that addressing the climate impact of aviation is essential to preserving the vital role that air travel plays in global connectivity and commerce. That is why we continue to focus on decarbonizing our airline operations, with the aspiration of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

With around 90% of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions coming from jet fuel, achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 depends on our ability to successfully decarbonize our flight operations. Our sustainability strategy supports our net-zero aspiration by focusing on:

• What We Fly: evolving our fleet through continued investment in next-generation aircraft while partnering to develop revolutionary fleet technology
• How We Fly: adopting new technologies, procedures and other strategies to improve fuel efficiency
• The Fuel We Use: collaborating to scale supply and reduce the cost of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)

We are also working to integrate electric power and cleaner fuels into our ground support equipment (GSE) and incorporate more sustainable products and practices in the travel experience and our supply chain.

Progress will be shaped both by our own actions and by factors beyond our direct control, including customer demand, technological innovation, government policy and incentives, and the activities and investments of others in our industry and value chain. We remain committed to ongoing collaboration with our industry partners, policymakers and stakeholders and to monitoring and adapting our strategy as conditions change.

We are in the process of recalibrating our net-zero glide path opens in a new window to better reflect progress to date and future projections. We anticipate providing an update to our 2050 pathway in our 2026 Delta Difference Report.
