Delta’s mission to connect the world includes working to imagine and help deliver a more sustainable future of travel. This is not only important to our customers, it is essential to positioning our business to thrive into the future.

Delta is proud of the progress we are making on our sustainability strategy, but we know we can’t do it alone. We are actively collaborating within and beyond our industry to advance our vision for a more sustainable future of flight.

Sustainability is the ultimate team sport. During our Centennial year, Delta’s progress – from scaling sustainable aviation fuel to partnering with next-gen aircraft pioneers – was possible because of deep collaboration across our employees, partners and customers. Together, we’re proving that when the industry works as one, we can collectively progress toward a net-zero future.”
