Delta to Entertain More Customers Worldwide This Summer

ATLANTA, June 6, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) this summer
will offer customers hundreds of hours of movies, HBO, TV programming, music and
video games through the world-class Delta on Demand available on more than
70,000 seats daily. The airline's maintenance division, Delta TechOps, has
completed installation of the digital entertainment system on nearly 140
aircraft since 2006.

"Delta considers high-quality in-flight entertainment a key component of our
customers' travel experience and what differentiates us in this highly
competitive marketplace," said Joanne Smith, Delta's senior vice president of
In-Flight Service and Global Product. "We've continued to invest in onboard
technology, and we're proud to be the only U.S. airline offering both our
domestic and international customers, traveling in premium and economy class
cabins, the ability to enjoy state-of-the-art entertainment on demand."

In August 2006, Delta began installing Panasonic's digital X-Series IFE platform
on its 767-300ER fleet in the BusinessElite(r) cabin. In December 2006, the
airline expanded the installation of Delta on Demand to all cabins on 45 Boeing
777 and 767 aircraft. Delta on Demand is also available on 59 of Delta's Boeing
757 and 28 Boeing 737 aircraft. By the end of 2008, more than 45 percent of
Delta's fleet will feature Delta on Demand. Through 2009, Delta will add
audio/video on demand (AVOD) in all cabins on another seven 767-400ERs and take
delivery of 10 new 737-700s and six new 777-200LRs with factory-equipped AVOD.

"The people of Delta TechOps have once again delivered spectacular results,
accomplishing an incredible number of modifications to Delta aircraft over the
last 18 months," said Tony Charaf, president of Delta TechOps. "This
modification work -- a niche market Delta TechOps has identified as a key growth
area -- is an important part of our nose-to-tail expertise, helping to further
cement our leadership position in the MRO industry."

Each day, more than 70,000 seats offer customers Delta on Demand featuring:

flying on transoceanic routes; and
