Airline to open 'Delta Sky360 Club,' an exclusive 22,500 square-
foot space behind home plate in the Mets' new ballpark

Multiyear agreement demonstrates Delta's growing presence and long-
term commitment to New York
ATLANTA, Sept. 15, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recognition of Delta Air Lines'
(NYSE:DAL) growing presence in and commitment to New York, the airline today
announced a multiyear marketing and promotional relationship with the New York
Mets at Citi Field, the team's new 42,000-seat ballpark set to open in spring
2009. As the exclusive sponsor of the Delta Sky360 Club, a club-level space
behind home plate, the airline will offer fans an opportunity to sample the
world-class Delta experience.

"As the Official Airline of the Mets, this new ballpark offers us a unique
opportunity to take our relationship with the team and its loyal fans to the
next level, bringing the distinctively Delta brand and experience to life for
baseball fans visiting the new Delta Sky360 Club, which will offer some of the
best seats in the house - right behind home plate," said Tim Mapes, Delta's vice
president of Marketing. "This latest commitment to the Mets, an organization
that is an integral part of the cultural fabric of the City, is yet another way
Delta is demonstrating our ongoing commitment to New York travelers."

Delta's signature presence at Citi Field will include exclusive naming rights on
the Sterling Club level and the 22,500-square-foot Delta Sky360 Club located
behind home plate. The Delta Sky360 Club will offer visitors the opportunity to
sample elements of the Delta brand and experience. Delta will also have
extensive in-park branding and significant presence on SNY, the official
television home of the team.

As the Official Airline of the Mets, Delta offers customers more flights to more
destinations from New York City's two preferred airports combined -- John F.
Kennedy International (JFK) and New York-LaGuardia (LGA) -- than any other
airline.

Delta's relationship with the Mets began in the early 1990s when the airline
first provided the team's charter service, and has continued throughout the last
decade with Delta serving as the Mets' Official Airline. Additionally, Delta
AirElite has joined as the Official Private Jet Carrier of the Mets.

Delta's promotional rights extend to the Mets' minor league affiliates at
Tradition Field, in Port St. Lucie, Fla., home of Mets Spring Training and the
St. Lucie Mets, as well as KeySpan Park in Coney Island, N.Y., home of the
Brooklyn Cyclones.

"We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Delta at Citi Field," said Dave
Howard, executive vice president of Business Operations - New York Mets.
"Delta's ongoing communication to its passengers traveling around the country
and into and out of New York will provide new opportunities to engage fans.
Through significant presence at Delta's international gateway at JFK and
LaGuardia Airport, the Mets and Delta together can build and enhance each
others' brand experiences."
