Delta Air Lines Receives Court Approval of Disclosure Statement and Authorization to Solicit Votes on Plan of Reorganization

Feb 7, 2007

ATLANTA, Feb. 7, 2007 – Delta Air Lines today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has approved the Disclosure Statement filed in connection with the company’s proposed Plan of Reorganization. The court also authorized Delta to begin soliciting approval from its creditors for the Plan of Reorganization. Prior to the hearing Delta successfully resolved all objections that had been filed.

Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Officer Gerald Grinstein said, “This is an important and exciting time for Delta. The court’s approval to proceed validates and recognizes the remarkable progress Delta people have made together to transform this great airline. There is no question good things are in store for our people, our customers, our creditors and the communities we serve as we approach the end of our successful Chapter 11 restructuring.”

At the hearing, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Adlai Hardin ruled that Delta’s Disclosure Statement is adequate for the purposes of soliciting creditor approval for the Plan of Reorganization. A confirmation hearing for the court to consider approval of the Plan of Reorganization has been scheduled for April 25, 2007.

Edward H. Bastian, Delta’s chief financial officer and head of the company’s restructuring efforts, said: “Having received another crucial and tremendous vote of confidence in our plan and our people, we remain on course to exit bankruptcy this spring – possibly as soon as late April – as a strong, fiercely competitive airline. Backed by the support of our many stakeholders and using the bankruptcy process the right way, Delta people have strengthened and improved every aspect of how we do business. Upon emergence, Delta will be one of the best positioned airlines in the country based on financial strength and profit potential, with unit costs among the lowest of any traditional network carrier.”

In the next two weeks, Delta will begin mailing notices of the proposed confirmation hearing to, and begin the process of soliciting approvals for the Plan of Reorganization from, qualified claim holders. The Unsecured Creditors' Committee in Delta’s proceedings has stated its support for Delta’s Plan of Reorganization and has provided a letter to the company, which will be mailed to creditors with the Disclosure Statement, recommending that creditors vote in favor of the Plan of Reorganization. The two other committees appointed in Delta’s Chapter 11 proceedings are also supporting the Plan of Reorganization. Assuming the requisite approvals are received and the court confirms the plan under the company’s current timetable, Delta will emerge from Chapter 11 protection this spring.

As previously reported, Delta has received a commitment for up to $2.5 billion in exit financing from a consortium of lenders co-led by six financial institutions – JPMorgan, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, UBS, and Barclays Capital. The facility, the terms of which have been approved by the Creditors’ Committee, will consist of a $1 billion first-lien revolving credit facility, a $500 million first-lien Term Loan A, and a $1 billion second-lien Term Loan B. It will be secured by substantially all of the first-priority collateral securing the existing debtor-in-possession facilities.

Proceeds from the facility will be used by Delta to repay its $2.1 billion debtor-in-possession credit facilities led by GE Capital and American Express, to make other payments required upon exit from bankruptcy and to increase its already strong cash balance.

If the company’s Plan of Reorganization is confirmed, current holders of Delta’s equity will not receive any distributions following emergence and their equity interests will be cancelled once the Plan of Reorganization becomes effective.

Delta Air Lines (Other OTC: DALRQ) offers customers service to more destinations than any global airline with Delta and Delta Connection carrier service to 304 destinations in 52 countries.  With more than 50 new international routes added in the last year, Delta is America’s fastest growing international airline and is a leader across the Atlantic with flights to 31 trans-Atlantic destinations. To Latin America and the Caribbean, Delta offers nearly 600 weekly flights to 58 destinations.  Delta's marketing alliances also allow customers to earn and redeem SkyMiles on more than 14,000 flights offered by SkyTeam and other partners.

Additional information concerning risks and uncertainties that could cause differences between actual results and forward-looking statements is contained in Delta’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including its Form 10-K, filed on March 27, 2006 and its Form 10-Q, filed on November 9, 2006.

The risks and uncertainties and the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed can affect the value of our various pre-petition liabilities, common stock and/or other securities.  No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each of these liabilities or securities.

We believe that our currently outstanding common stock will have no value and will be canceled under any plan of reorganization we propose, and that the value of our various pre-petition liabilities and other securities is highly speculative.  Accordingly, we urge that caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities and/or securities.  Investors and other interested parties can obtain information about Delta’s Chapter 11 filing on the Internet at delta.com/restructure. Court filings and claims information are available at deltadocket.com.  Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on Delta’s forward-looking statements, which represent Delta’s views only as of February 7, 2007, and which Delta has no current intention to update.

Court Confirms Delta Air Lines Plan of Reorganization

Apr 25, 2007

NEW YORK, April 25, 2007– The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York today issued a ruling confirming Delta’s Plan of Reorganization, clearing the way for the airline’s emergence from Chapter 11. Delta expects its plan to become effective on April 30, once all closing conditions of the plan have been met and the company’s $2.5 billion in exit financing has closed.

“This is an exciting day for everyone at Delta,” said Gerald Grinstein, Delta’s Chief Executive Officer. “Achieving a turnaround of this magnitude in little more than 19 months would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of Delta people worldwide, and the leadership, the vision and the flawless execution of our plan by our outstanding management team led by Ed Bastian and Jim Whitehurst. We are also grateful to all the other people who have helped make this possible for Delta, including the unwavering support of our customers and the communities we serve.”

After Delta’s confirmation hearing earlier today, the Honorable Adlai S. Hardin, Jr. issued his ruling affirming that the company had met all of the necessary statutory requirements to confirm its Plan of Reorganization and exit from Chapter 11. Earlier in the month, Delta creditors overwhelmingly supported the plan. More than 95 percent of the ballots cast and claims value voting were in favor of the plan.

Judge Hardin’s ruling also applies to all of Delta’s wholly owned subsidiaries that filed for Chapter 11 protection, including Comair, Delta Global Services, Delta Technology, Delta Air Elite and Delta Connection Academy. Each of those subsidiaries is expected to emerge from Chapter 11 alongside Delta on April 30. “Delta is now poised to enter the next chapter of our history as a strong airline ready to compete in an ever changing industry,” concluded Grinstein.

Delta’s common stock has been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DAL”. Trading on the NYSE is expected to commence April 26, 2007, on a “when issued” basis (DAL.WI), and “regular way” trading is anticipated to begin on May 3, 2007. Current holders of Delta’s pre-plan equity, which has recently traded over the counter under the symbol “DALRQ,” will not receive any distributions under Delta’s Plan of Reorganization. These equity interests will be cancelled upon the effectiveness of the plan. Accordingly, Delta urges caution be exercised with respect to investments in Delta’s existing equity securities and any of Delta’s liabilities and other securities.

Distribution to Creditors
A person holding a general unsecured claim of $10,000 against Delta (in Delta Classes 4 and 5) would receive an initial distribution of approximately 225 shares of new common stock in the reorganized Delta Air Lines. (Net distributions for Delta retirees and current and former employees generally will be smaller on account of withholding obligations). The initial distribution excludes approximately 135 million shares that are reserved from distribution due to disputed unsecured claims in Delta Classes 4 and 5. A total of 358,786,580 shares will ultimately be distributed to creditors in Delta Classes 4 and 5 under the Plan.

As a result of the significantly higher percentage of disputed claims outstanding against the Comair debtors, there will be a lower percentage distribution to Comair creditors at this time. Thus, a person holding a general unsecured claim of $10,000 against Comair (in Comair Class 4) would receive an initial distribution of approximately 139 shares. The initial distribution excludes approximately 25 million shares that are reserved from distribution due to disputed unsecured claims in Comair's Class 4.  A total of 27,213,420 shares will ultimately be distributed for to creditors in Comair Class 4 under the Plan.

Delta Air Lines offers customers service to more destinations than any global airline with Delta and Delta Connection carrier service to 307 destinations in 52 countries. With more than 60 new international routes added in the last year, Delta is America’s fastest growing international airline and is a leader across the Atlantic with flights to 31 trans-Atlantic destinations.

May 3, 2007

ATLANTA, May 3, 2007 – The Opening Bell of today’s stock market signaled the addition of Delta Air Lines’ “DAL” stock ticker to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as shares of the company’s new common stock began trading. CEO Jerry Grinstein signaled his confidence in the company by purchasing 1,000 shares of new Delta stock.

The company is making the initial distribution of its new common stock to unsecured creditors with allowed claims. As part of its previously announced comprehensive compensation program, Delta made its distribution of new common stock to approximately 39,000 noncontract employees.

“There is a renewed spirit at Delta that starts with our employees’ commitment to outstanding customer service. That energy permeates the company as we remain focused on executing a solid business plan that we expect will deliver great value for all of our stakeholders, including customers, employees, business partners and, of course, our new shareholders,” said Edward H. Bastian, Delta’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We are proud to be continuing our more than 50 year relationship with the New York Stock Exchange at this important moment in Delta’s history.”

The company’s Plan of Reorganization was confirmed in an order entered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on April 25, 2007.
