Overview
Just as a delta is a symbol for change in math, Delta Air Lines symbolizes the changing mathematics of the airline industry. Delta became one of the world's largest airlines by traffic after its $2.8 billion acquisition/merger of Northwest Airlines in 2009. Through its regional carriers (including subsidiary Comair), the combined company serves more than 350 destinations in about 70 countries, and it operates a mainline fleet of almost 800 aircraft, as well as MRO and cargo operations. Delta is a founding member of the SkyTeam marketing and code-sharing alliance (airlines can sell tickets on one another's flights and thus extend their networks), which includes carriers such as Air France, KLM, and Alitalia.
