Delta to Become Only Major U.S. Airline to Offer Broadband Wi-Fi Access On
Entire Domestic Mainline Fleet

ATLANTA, Aug. 5, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) customers
traveling throughout the continental United States will soon be offered the
added convenience of broadband Wi-Fi access onboard the airline's domestic fleet
of more than 330 mainline aircraft.

Delta is joining with Aircell(r), a 17-year leader in airborne communications
for business and commercial aviation, to install the company's Mobile Broadband
Network on the carrier's domestic fleet. The system, Gogo, will enable Delta
customers traveling with Wi-Fi enabled devices, such as laptops, smartphones and
PDAs, to access the Internet, corporate VPNs, corporate and personal e-mail
accounts, as well as SMS texting and instant messaging services. Gogo will be
available to customers for a flat fee of $9.95 on flights of three hours or
less, and $12.95 on flights of more than three hours.

"Delta remains committed to providing a travel experience that maximizes the
time our customers spend with us onboard by offering them even more productivity
options," said Richard Anderson, Delta's chief executive officer. "Our customers
asked for in-flight connectivity, and we're responding by rolling out the most
extensive Wi-Fi network in the sky. Beginning this fall, our passengers will
have the ability to stay connected when they travel with us throughout the
continental U.S."

Gogo will be offered initially on Delta's fleet of 133 MD88/90 aircraft and will
rapidly expand to the remaining domestic fleet of more than 200 Boeing 737, 757
and 767-300 aircraft throughout the first half of 2009. The airline expects to
have more than 330 aircraft complete by summer 2009. The full fleet agreement
between Aircell and Delta will provide a consistent, convenient experience for
customers traveling on the airline who wish to use the Gogo Internet service.

"The advent of Air-To-Ground (ATG) technology has made broadband connectivity in
the cabin economically viable for the first time for commercial airlines," said
Jack Blumenstein, President and CEO, Aircell. "The game has changed and Delta
will be among the first to provide an enhanced customer experience with
broadband Wi-Fi access on more than 1,000 daily flights within the U.S."

In addition to being the most cost-effective in-flight broadband technology
available, the Aircell system is extremely light, requires minimal space on the
aircraft and is installed overnight, making it a sound investment in a
competitive, high fuel-price environment.
