Delta Air Lines today announced that the company and its subsidiaries have voluntarily filed for a Chapter 11 reorganization in accordance with United States law. Delta has taken this action as part of its ongoing efforts to address its financial challenges and become a simpler, more efficient and cost-effective airline.
Delta will continue normal business operations today and throughout the reorganization process. Delta is operating its full schedule of flights, honoring tickets and reservations as usual, and making normal refunds and exchanges. Delta`s award-winning SkyMiles program has not been affected. Customers can continue to enjoy the opportunity to earn and redeem miles on the thousands of flights offered by SkyTeam and Delta`s vast network of global airline alliances.
The United States Chapter 11 process is focused on the preservation and reorganization of companies. Delta`s management will continue to operate the business and the company will continue normal business operations during this process. Delta expects to receive court authorization to pay most non-U.S.-based suppliers for goods and services provided both before and after the Chapter 11 filing.
Delta is open for business and will continue regular operations today and throughout the reorganization process, said Delta CEO Gerald Grinstein.
Our customers can continue to enjoy the convenience and choice they have come to expect from the more than 7,500 daily flights to 502 destinations in 88 countries that we and our SkyTeam partners provide worldwide. We are committed to our international markets and look forward to adding new routes and destinations around the world as we continue to implement our transformation plan and move Delta towards a more secure future.
