The Roots Of Delta Airlines
Delta was born in 1928 from a crop dusting airplane company called Huff Daland Dusters. The company was started to provided commercial air travel options to southern regional destinations – in fact, the name itself comes from the Mississippi Delta. In the 1940s, Delta moved their operations to a hub in Atlanta, where it remains today. After the move to Atlanta, Delta began slowly acquiring smaller airlines, expanding their fleet, and expanding their flight routes. Delta’s Atlanta hub is now the world’s busiest hub, with nearly 1,000 flights departing every day.

Like all other airlines, Delta’s business was devastated by the 9/11 terror attacks. Despite cost cutting measures like staff cuts, Delta was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September, 2005, with $20 billion in debt. In an attempt to recover from their financial hard times, Delta is adding new routes, streamlining their fleet, and investigating merger opportunities with Northwest Airlines. Delta also cut ticket prices to compete with Southwest and other budget airlines.
