Error[edit]

Delta no longer has the 2nd largest fleet in the world. 98.61.138.184 (talk) 07:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

really? Hamterous1 (talk) 18:01, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partner airlines[edit]

Partner airlines are listed under the category “subsidiaries” this is false. 67.42.77.90 (talk) 06:42, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Focus cities[edit]

Delta reportedly no longer uses the "focus city" moniker to refer to select non-hub airports. (See the TPG article titled "Delta adds 11 new Austin flights just weeks after American slashed its schedule there" [Dec. 15, 2023], which I can't add here.)

That said, on Wikipedia we typically defer to secondary sources. In accordance with that policy, I would be in favor of citing secondary sources to refer to certain airports as focus cities—namely Raleigh[1], Cincinnati[2][3], and Austin[4]. Thoughts? --Precision123 (talk) 22:21, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

bookings[edit]

new bookings includes 192.94.102.3 (talk) 18:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Includes what? ‹hamster717🐉› ^{(discuss anything!🐹✈️ • my contribs🌌🌠)} 03:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, on April 2, 2024, the UNC^[who?] booked a demo, and Delta Airlines was very excited for a group to start using new platforms? - Master of Hedgehogs ^(converse) ^{(hate that hedgehog!)} 18:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
