DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General Description
Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta" or the "Company") is a major air carrier providing scheduled air transportation for passengers, freight and mail
over a network of routes throughout the United States and abroad. Based on calendar 1994 data, Delta is the largest United States airline as
measured by aircraft departures and passengers enplaned, and the third largest United States airline as measured by operating revenues and
revenue passenger miles flown. At September 1, 1995, the Company served 153 domestic cities in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, as well as 51 cities in 31 foreign countries.
An important characteristic of Delta's domestic route system is its four hub airports in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas/Ft. Worth and Salt Lake City.
Each of these hub operations includes Delta flights that gather and distribute traffic from markets in the geographic region surrounding the hub
to other major cities and to other Delta hubs. These hubs also provide access to Delta's international hub at New York's Kennedy Airport, its
Pacific gateway in Portland, Oregon and its European hub in Frankfurt, Germany.
Delta conducts operations in various foreign countries, principally in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Operating revenues
from the Company's foreign operations were approximately $2.6 billion, $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion in the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.
For the year ended June 30, 1995, passenger revenues accounted for 92% of Delta's operating revenues. Cargo revenues, which include freight
and mail, accounted for 5% of Delta's operating revenues, and other sources accounted for 3% of the Company's operating revenues.
Delta's operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year because of seasonal
variations in the demand for air travel. In general, demand for air travel is higher in the June and September quarters, particularly in
international markets, because there is more vacation travel during these periods than during the remainder of the year. Demand for air travel,
especially by leisure and other discretionary customers, is also affected by factors such as general economic conditions and fare levels.
Delta is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located at Hartsfield Atlanta International
Airport, Atlanta, Georgia 30320, and its telephone number is (404) 715-2600.
Regulatory Environment
While the United States Department of Transportation (the "DOT") and the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") exercise regulatory
authority over air carriers under the
Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (the "Act"), most domestic economic regulation of passenger and freight services was eliminated
pursuant to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 and other statutes amending the Act. The DOT has jurisdiction over international tariffs and
pricing; international routes; and certain economic and consumer protection matters such as advertising, denied boarding compensation,
baggage liability, smoking aboard aircraft and computer reservations systems. The FAA regulates flying operations generally, including control
of navigable air space, flight personnel, aircraft certification and maintenance, and other matters affecting air safety. The United States
Department of Justice has jurisdiction over airline mergers and acquisitions.
Because of the economic deregulation of the industry, unrestricted authority to operate domestic air transportation (including the carriage of
passengers and cargo) is available to any air carrier which the DOT finds "fit" to operate. Authority to operate international routes continues to
be regulated by the DOT and by the foreign governments involved. International route awards are also subject to the approval of the President
of the United States for conformance with national defense and foreign policy objectives.
The economic deregulation of the industry permits unfettered competition with respect to domestic routes, services, fares and rates, and
competition on Delta's routes continues to increase. Except for constraints imposed by the Act's Essential Air Service provisions which are
applicable to certain small communities, airlines may terminate service to a city without restriction.
The FAA has implemented a number of provisions and requirements which are being incorporated into Delta's maintenance programs. These
matters relate to, among other things, inspection and maintenance of aging aircraft, and corrosion control. Based on its current implementation
schedule, Delta expects to be in compliance with applicable requirements within the required time periods.
Delta is also subject to various other federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations. The United States Postal Service has authority over
certain aspects of the transportation of mail, and rates for the carriage of domestic mail are determined through negotiations or competitive
bidding. The Communications Act of 1934, as amended, governs Delta's use and operation of radio facilities. Labor relations in the airline
industry are generally governed by the Railway Labor Act. Environmental matters (including noise pollution) are regulated by various federal,
state and local governmental entities.
Fares and Rates
Airlines are permitted to set domestic ticket prices without governmental regulation, and the industry is characterized by substantial price
competition. With respect to foreign air transportation, the DOT retains authority over fares, rates and charges, and air carriers are required to
file and observe tariffs covering such transportation. International fares and rates are also subject to the jurisdiction of the governments of the
foreign countries involved. While air carriers are required to file and adhere to international fare and rate tariffs, many international
-
2
-
markets are characterized by substantial commissions, overrides and discounts to travel agents, brokers and wholesalers.
During fiscal 1995, low-cost, low-fare carriers increased their presence in domestic markets served by Delta. This contributed to a 1% decline
in the system passenger mile yield in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994. See "ITEM
1. Business - Leadership 7.5" on pages 6-7.
Delta expects that low-fare competition is likely to continue in domestic and international markets. If price reductions are not offset by
increases in traffic or changes in the mix of traffic that improve the passenger mile yield, Delta's operating results will be adversely affected.
Competition and Route Authority
All domestic routes served by Delta are subject to competition from both new and existing carriers, and service over virtually all of Delta's
domestic routes is highly competitive. On most of its principal routes, the Company competes with at least one, and usually more than one,
major airline. Delta also competes with regional and national carriers, all-cargo carriers, charter airlines and, particularly on its shorter routes,
with surface transportation. Service over most of Delta's international routes is also highly competitive.
International alliances between foreign and domestic carriers, such as the marketing and code sharing arrangements between British Airways
Plc and USAir, Inc., KLM-Royal Dutch Airlines and Northwest Airlines, Inc., and Lufthansa German Airlines and United Air Lines, Inc., have
significantly increased competition in international markets. Through code sharing arrangements with United States carriers, British Airways,
KLM and Lufthansa have obtained access to interior United States passenger traffic. Similarly, Northwest and United have increased their
ability to sell transatlantic services and destinations to and beyond European cities served by KLM and Lufthansa.
Delta's flight operations are authorized by certificates of public convenience and necessity and, to a limited extent, by exemptions issued by the
DOT. The requisite approvals of other governments for international operations are provided by bilateral agreements with, or permits issued
by, foreign countries. Because international air transportation is governed by bilateral or other agreements between the United States and the
foreign country or countries involved, changes in United States or foreign government aviation policies could result in the alteration or
termination of such agreements, diminish the value of Delta's international route authorities or otherwise affect Delta's international operations.
Bilateral agreements between the United States and various foreign countries served by Delta are subject to renegotiation from time to time.
Certain of Delta's international route authorities are subject to periodic renewal requirements. Delta requests extension of these authorities
when and as appropriate. While the DOT usually renews temporary authorities on routes where the authorized carrier is providing a reasonable
level of service, there is no assurance of this result. Dormant authority may not be renewed in some cases -- especially where another United
States carrier indicates a willingness to provide service.
-

-
Code Sharing
Delta has entered into marketing agreements with certain foreign carriers to maintain or improve Delta's access to international markets. Under
these dual designator code sharing arrangements, Delta and the foreign carrier publish their respective airline designator codes on a single flight
operation, thereby allowing Delta and the foreign carrier to provide joint service with one aircraft rather than operating separate services with
two aircraft.
Most of Delta's international code sharing arrangements operate in discrete international city pairs. Delta purchases seats that are marketed
under Delta's "DL" designator code pursuant to code sharing arrangements with a number of foreign airlines, including Aeromexico, Austrian
Airlines, Korean Air (effective September 30, 1995), Malev Hungarian Airlines, Sabena Belgian World Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Swissair,
Varig and Virgin Atlantic Airways. Delta sells seats that are marketed under foreign airlines' two-letter designator codes pursuant to code
sharing arrangements with Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Sabena and Swissair.
Slot Allocations
Operations at four major United States and certain foreign airports served by Delta are regulated by governmental entities through "slot"
allocations. Each slot represents the authorization to land or take off from the particular airport during a specified time period. In the United
States, the FAA regulates slot allocations at Kennedy Airport in New York, LaGuardia Airport in New York, National Airport in Washington,
D. C., and O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. The Delta Shuttle requires slot allocations at LaGuardia and National Airports, as do
Delta's other operations at those four airports. Certain foreign airports, including Delta's European hub in Frankfurt, also have slot allocations.
Delta currently has sufficient slot authorizations to operate its existing flights, and has generally been able to obtain slots to expand its
operations and to change its schedules. There is no assurance, however, that Delta will be able to obtain slots for these purposes in the future
because, among other reasons, slot allocations are subject to changes in governmental policies.
The Delta Connection
Delta has marketing agreements with four air carriers serving principally the following areas of the United States: Atlantic Southeast Airlines,
Inc. ("ASA") operates in the Southeast through Atlanta and in the Southwest through Dallas/Fort Worth; Business Express, Inc. serves the
Northeast; Comair, Inc. ("Comair") serves Florida and operates in the Midwest through Cincinnati; and SkyWest Airlines, Inc. ("SkyWest")
serves California and operates in other western states through Salt Lake City. These carriers, which are known as "Delta Connection" airlines,
use Delta's "DL" code on their flights and exchange connecting traffic with Delta. At June 30, 1995, Delta held equity interests in ASA, Comair
Holdings, Inc. (the parent of Comair) and SkyWest, Inc. (the parent of SkyWest) of 24%, 21% and 15%, respectively.

Computer Reservation System Partnership
Delta owns 38% of WORLDSPAN, L.P. ("WORLDSPAN"), a Delaware limited partnership which operates and markets a computer
reservation system ("CRS") and related systems for the travel industry. Northwest Airlines, Inc., Trans World Airlines, Inc. and ABACUS
Distribution Systems Pte Ltd. own 32%, 25% and 5%, respectively, of WORLDSPAN.
CRS services are used primarily by travel agents to book airline, hotel and car rental reservations and issue airline tickets. CRS services are
provided by several companies in the United States and worldwide. In the United States, other CRS competitors are SABRE (owned by
American Airlines, Inc.), the Galileo International Partnership (owned by United Air Lines, Inc., USAir, Inc. and certain foreign carriers) and
System One AMADEUS (owned by Continental Airlines, Inc., AMADEUS and Electronic Data Systems Corporation). CRS vendors are
subject to regulations promulgated by the DOT and certain foreign governments.
The CRS industry is highly competitive. Delta believes that, based on the number of travel agents in the United States using a CRS,
WORLDSPAN ranks third, behind SABRE and the Galileo International Partnership, in market share among travel agents in the United States.
Information Technology Joint Venture
During the December 1994 quarter, Delta and AT&T Global Information Solutions Company ("AT&T") formed TransQuest Information
Solutions ("TransQuest"), a joint venture to provide information technology services to Delta and others in the travel and transportation
industries. Delta and AT&T each own a 50% interest in TransQuest.
Fuel
Delta's operations are significantly affected by the availability and price of jet fuel. Based on the Company's fiscal 1995 jet fuel consumption, a
one-cent change in the average annual price per gallon of jet fuel would have caused an approximately $25 million change in Delta's annual
fuel costs. The following table shows Delta's jet fuel consumption and costs for fiscal years 1991-1995.

1994 2,550 1,411 55.34 12
1995 2,533 1,370 54.09 12
- -------------
Aircraft fuel expense decreased 3% in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994, as fuel gallons consumed declined 1% and the average price per
fuel gallon decreased 2% to 54.09c., Delta's lowest average price per fuel gallon for any fiscal year since fiscal 1989.
Changes in jet fuel prices have industry-wide impact and benefit or harm Delta's competitors as well as Delta. Accordingly, lower jet fuel
prices may be offset by increased price competition and lower revenues for all air carriers. Moreover, there can be no assurance that Delta will
be able to increase its fares in response to any future increases in fuel prices.
Delta's jet fuel contracts do not provide material protection against price increases or for assured availability of supplies. The Company
purchases most of its jet fuel from petroleum refiners under contracts which establish the price based on various market indices. The Company
also purchases aircraft fuel on the spot market, from off-shore sources and under contracts which permit the refiners to set the price and give
the Company the right to terminate upon short notice if the price is unacceptable.
Although Delta is currently able to obtain adequate supplies of jet fuel, it is impossible to predict the future availability or price of jet fuel.
Political disruptions in the oil producing countries, changes in government policy concerning aircraft fuel production, transportation or
marketing, changes in aircraft fuel production capacity, environmental concerns, and other unpredictable events may result in fuel supply
shortages and fuel price increases in the future. Such shortages and price increases could have a material adverse effect on Delta's business.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 imposes a 4.3c. per gallon tax on commercial aviation jet fuel purchased for use in domestic
operations, effective October 1, 1995. Based on Delta's fiscal 1996 expected domestic fuel requirement of 1.9 billion gallons, the new fuel tax,
when effective, is expected to increase Delta's operating expenses by approximately $80 million annually. Delta and other United States
airlines are actively lobbying for a repeal of this tax. The outcome of these efforts cannot presently be determined.
Leadership 7.5
On April 28, 1994, Delta announced "Leadership 7.5," a three-year plan with the goal of reducing the Company's annual operating expenses by
approximately $2 billion by the end of the June 1997 quarter. Delta also established operating cost per available seat mile ("unit cost") goals of
8.6c. by the June 1995 quarter, 8.0c. by the June 1996 quarter and 7.5c. by the June 1997 quarter. These unit cost goals reflect the phase-in of
the approximately $2 billion in targeted cost savings, exclude restructuring and other nonrecurring charges, and assume other costs and
operating capacity remain at calendar 1993 levels. To the extent that other costs increase, Delta will seek additional cost reductions to achieve
its goals.
Industry events during fiscal 1995 validated Delta's determination that cost reductions are essential to compete in today's highly competitive
airline industry. Low-cost, low-fare carriers increased their presence in domestic markets, resulting in continued reductions in Delta's domestic
passenger mile yield and flat or declining domestic unit revenue. At the end of fiscal
-
6
-
1995, approximately 60% of Delta's domestic origin and destination revenue passenger miles were in markets also served by low-cost, low-
fare
carriers, up from 57% at the end of fiscal 1994 and 32% at the end of fiscal 1993. The airline industry has experienced a permanent shift in the
preferences of its customers, with more business and leisure passengers citing ticket prices as the most important factor in their purchase
decisions.
Leadership 7.5 initiatives made a significant contribution to Delta's operating profit in fiscal 1995. The Company achieved its first Leadership
7.5 unit cost target, recording a unit cost of 8.39c. for the June 1995 quarter. By the end of fiscal 1995, the implementation of initiatives
expected to generate approximately $1.6 billion in annual cost reductions was in process or completed.
Changes in the Company's collective bargaining agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association ("ALPA"), which represents Delta's 8,100
pilots, are critical to the continued success of Leadership 7.5 and the Company's ability to achieve its future unit cost targets. Delta is seeking
$340 million in annual productivity improvements and wage and benefit reductions from ALPA. See "ITEM 1. Business - Personnel" on pages
7-8.
Delta's cost reduction and unit cost goals under Leadership 7.5 are aggressive, and no assurance can be given that Delta will achieve these
goals.
Additional information regarding Leadership 7.5 is set forth under "Operational Review - Leadership 7.5" on page 6 of Delta's 1995 Annual
Report to Stockholders, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Personnel
At June 30, 1995, Delta employed 59,717 full-time equivalent personnel, compared to 69,555 full-time equivalent personnel at June 30, 1994.
This 14% reduction in staffing was achieved through voluntary early retirement incentives, leaves of absence, severance programs, the transfer
of employees to TransQuest and WORLDSPAN, and furloughs.
The following table presents certain information concerning Delta's domestic collective bargaining agreements.

Approximately 3,600 of Delta's personnel are based outside the United States. Delta personnel in certain foreign countries, including most of
Delta's personnel in Germany, are represented by labor organizations.
Delta's relations with labor unions in the United States are governed by the Railway Labor Act. Under the Railway Labor Act, the collective
bargaining agreements between Delta and labor unions do not expire but instead become amendable as of a stated date. If either party wishes to
modify the terms of any such agreement, it must notify the other party before the contract becomes amendable. After receipt of such notice, the
parties must meet for direct negotiations and, if no agreement is reached, either party may request the National Mediation Board ("NMB") to
appoint a federal mediator. If no agreement is reached in mediation, the NMB may determine, at any time, that an impasse exists and proffer
binding arbitration. Either party may decline to submit to arbitration. If arbitration is rejected, a 30-day "cooling-off" period commences,
following which the union may strike and the airline may resort to "self-help," including the imposition of its proposed changes to the
collective bargaining agreement and the hiring of replacement workers.
Delta's collective bargaining agreements with ALPA and the Professional Airline Flight Control Association ("PAFCA") became amendable on
January 1, 1995, and formal negotiations with ALPA and PAFCA began in November 1994. As part of its Leadership 7.5 program, the
Company is seeking $340 million in annual productivity improvements and wage and benefit reductions from ALPA. On May 8, 1995, the
NMB, at the Company's request, appointed federal mediators to participate in the collective bargaining negotiations between Delta and ALPA.
Delta and PAFCA reached agreement on a new collective bargaining contract, subject to ratification by the flight superintendents employed by
the Company. On September 8, 1995, however, the flight superintendents rejected the proposed contract. Delta and PAFCA intend to continue
negotiations on a new agreement.
The outcome of Delta's negotiations with ALPA and PAFCA cannot presently be determined.
Environmental Matters
The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (the "ANCA") requires the phase-out of Stage 2 aircraft by December 31, 1999, subject to certain
exceptions. In 1991, the FAA issued regulations which implement the ANCA by requiring air carriers to reduce (by modification or retirement)
the number of Stage 2 aircraft operated by 25% by December 31, 1994, 50% by December 31, 1996, 75% by December 31, 1998, and 100% by
December 31, 1999. Alternatively, a carrier may satisfy the regulations by operating a fleet that is at least 55%, 65%, 75% and 100% Stage 3
by the respective dates set forth in the preceding sentence.
On December 31, 1994, Delta operated 364 Stage 3 aircraft, constituting 67% of the Company's fleet, and thus complied with the first phase-
out deadline. On June 30, 1995, Delta operated 367 Stage 3 aircraft, constituting 68% of the Company's fleet. Accordingly, Delta
-
8
-
anticipates that it will be able to comply with the requirements for December 31, 1996, by operating a fleet comprised of at least 65% Stage 3
aircraft. Delta anticipates it will comply with the later compliance deadlines, although the Company has not yet determined which alternative it
will select with respect to such deadlines. Information relating to Delta's agreement to purchase certain aircraft engine hushkits is set forth
under "Operational Review - Aircraft Fleet" on page 9 of Delta's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, and is incorporated herein by reference.
The ANCA recognizes the rights of operators of airports with noise problems to implement local noise abatement procedures so long as such
procedures do not interfere unreasonably with interstate or foreign commerce or the national air transportation system. It generally provides
that local noise restrictions on Stage 3 aircraft first effective after October 1, 1990, require FAA approval, and establishes a regulatory notice
and review process for local restrictions on Stage 2 aircraft first proposed after October 1, 1990. While Delta has had sufficient scheduling
flexibility to accommodate local noise restrictions in the past, the Company's operations could be adversely impacted if locally-imposed
regulations become more restrictive or widespread.
The European Union has adopted a uniform policy requiring member states to phase-out Stage 2 aircraft. Under the policy provisions, the
phase-out of Stage 2 aircraft began on April 1, 1995, and will extend for seven years. Each Stage 2 aircraft will be assured a 25 year operating
life, but not extending beyond April 1, 2002. Delta anticipates it will be able to comply with this Stage 2 aircraft phase-
out program, which will
apply at all airports in the member states. Other local European airport regulations which penalize or restrict operations by Stage 2 aircraft have
not in the past had an adverse effect on Delta's operations. Delta's operations could be adversely impacted, however, if such regulations become
more restrictive or widespread.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") is authorized to regulate aircraft emissions. The engines on Delta's aircraft
comply with the applicable EPA standards.
Delta has been identified by the EPA as a potentially responsible party (a "PRP") with respect to the following federal Superfund Sites: the
Operating Industries, Inc. Site in Monterey Park, California; the Peak Oil Site in Tampa, Florida; and the Petroleum Products Corporation Site
in Pembroke Park, Florida. In addition, Delta is a third party defendant in United States of America v. J.B. Stringfellow, Jr., a lawsuit involving
the cleanup of the Stringfellow Superfund Site in Los Angeles, California. Delta's alleged volumetric contribution to these sites is limited. Delta
is also the subject of an administrative enforcement action brought by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (the "Georgia EPD")
concerning alleged violations of certain air permitting regulations and other provisions of the Clean Air Act and the Georgia air quality rules at
Delta's aircraft maintenance facility at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport. Delta has executed a consent order with the Georgia EPD,
which includes a monetary penalty of $310,000 (which may be reduced by $100,000 under certain circumstances), and an additional, not yet
determined, monetary penalty covering certain emissions. Delta is currently aware of soil and/or ground water contamination present on its
leaseholds at several domestic airports; the Company has a program in place to investigate and, if appropriate, remediate these sites.
Management presently believes that the resolution of these matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Frequent Flyer Program
Delta, like other major airlines, has established a frequent flyer program offering incentives to maximize travel on Delta. This program allows
participants to accrue mileage for award travel while flying on Delta, the Delta Connection carriers and participating airlines. Mileage credit
may also be accrued for the use of certain services offered by program partners such as hotels, car rental agencies and credit card companies.
Delta reserves the right to terminate the program with six months advance notice, and to change the program's terms and conditions at any time
without notice.
Effective May 1, 1995, Delta modified its frequent flyer program in certain respects. The changes included reducing the threshold for a free
travel award; making free travel awards more readily transferable; providing that miles earned expire in certain circumstances; and reducing
minimum mileage credit.
Mileage credits earned can be redeemed for free or upgraded travel, for membership in Delta's Crown Room Club and for other program
partner awards. Travel awards are subject to certain transfer restrictions and, in most cases, blackout dates and capacity controlled seating.
Miles earned prior to May 1, 1995 do not expire so long as Delta has a frequent flyer program. Miles earned on or after May 1, 1995 are valid
for 36 months from the month of the participant's last qualifying Delta or Delta Connection flight; every time a participant completes a
qualifying Delta or Delta Connection flight, his mileage balance is extended for another 36 months.
As of June 30, 1993, a participant in the frequent flyer program became eligible for a free travel award after accruing 30,000 miles. Effective
May 1, 1995, Delta modified the program by reducing the number of miles required to become eligible for a free travel award to 25,000. Delta
estimates the potential number of roundtrip flight awards outstanding to be 5.0 million at June 30, 1993, 7.9 million at June 30, 1994 and 8.8
million at June 30, 1995 (based on program accounts with balances in excess of 30,000 miles, 25,000 miles and 25,000 miles, respectively). Of
these earned awards, Delta expects up to approximately 3.3 million, 5.1 million and 5.7 million, respectively, to be redeemed. The difference
between the roundtrip awards outstanding and the awards expected to be redeemed is the estimate, based on historical data, of awards which
will (1) never be redeemed; (2) be redeemed for something other than a free trip; or (3) be redeemed on another carrier participating in the
program. Accounts with balances in excess of 30,000 miles represented 52% of the total mileage balance of all participants at June 30, 1993.
Accounts with balances in excess of 25,000 miles represented 61% and 69%, respectively, of the total mileage balance of all participants at
June 30, 1994 and 1995.
Delta accounts for its frequent flyer program obligations by recording the estimated incremental cost associated with the potential flight awards
as a liability and passenger service expense. Delta monitors changes in the potential free travel awards under the program, and the liability and
appropriate expense account balances are adjusted as necessary. The estimated incremental cost associated with a potential flight award does
not include any contribution to overhead or profit. Such incremental cost is based on Delta's system average cost per passenger

bag tags; boarding forms; in-flight entertainment; and customs. The trip length is determined by calculating the average trip length to the
various award destinations weighted by the historical number of redemptions for each destination. Delta does not record a liability for mileage
earned by participants who have not reached the level to become eligible for a free travel award. Delta believes this exclusion is immaterial and
appropriate because the large majority of these participants are not expected to earn a free flight award. Delta does not account for the
redemption of non-travel awards since the cost of these awards to Delta is negligible. At June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995, the accrued liability
was $69 million, $95 million and $101 million, respectively.
Frequent flyer program participants flew 4.5 million, 5.7 million and 5.8 million free round-trips in fiscal years 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. These round-trips accounted for approximately 6%, 7% and 8% of the total passenger miles flown for the respective periods.
Delta believes that the low percentage of free passenger miles, its load factor and the restrictions applied to free travel awards minimize the
displacement of revenue passengers.
Transactions with Pan Am Corporation
Asset Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated July 27, 1991, as amended (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), with
Pan Am Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code ("Pan Am"), Delta, in
1991, purchased certain assets relating to Pan Am's Boston-New York-Washington, D. C. Shuttle, and route authorities to Europe, Asia and
Africa. The purchased assets included
(1) substantially all of Pan Am's then-existing transatlantic route authorities and related beyond rights; (2) certain take-off and landing
authorizations and slots; (3) equity interests in certain aircraft, aircraft spare engines and spare parts; and (4) leasehold interests in certain
airport facilities.
Delta's purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement was $416 million, subject to certain adjustments. Under the Asset Purchase
Agreement, Delta also assumed certain liabilities, including $66 million in mortgages on acquired assets and up to $100 million of Pan Am's
passenger tickets under certain circumstances. In connection with these asset acquisitions, Delta hired approximately 7,800 Pan Am personnel
and entered into operating leases for 42 used aircraft.
Participation in Plan of Reorganization. Pursuant to a letter dated August 11, 1991, as amended on October 22, 1991, among Delta, Pan Am
and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Pan Am (the "Creditors Committee"), Delta agreed, subject to certain terms and
conditions, to participate in a plan of reorganization for Pan Am, to provide certain debtor-in-
possession financing (the "DIP Loan") to Pan Am
prior to the effective date of Pan Am's proposed plan of reorganization and to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement in certain respects.
-

-
On December 1, 1991, Delta advised Pan Am that it could not agree to Pan Am's request to provide additional financing to Pan Am prior to the
effective date of Pan Am's proposed plan of reorganization. Pan Am ceased operations on December 4, 1991, and its proposed plan of
reorganization before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") was not confirmed.
Pan Am is liquidating its assets.
CRAF. To resolve certain claims against Pan Am by the United States Air Force (the "Air Force") related to Pan Am's participation in the Civil
Reserve Air Fleet Enhancement Program (the "CRAF Program"), Delta entered into an agreement in principle dated October 17, 1991, with the
Air Force. Under the agreement in principle, Delta committed to the CRAF Program, for five years, aircraft having a certain point value under
the CRAF Program. This commitment is currently being met by Delta's agreeing to make available 26 of its international-range aircraft for use
by the military under certain stages of readiness related to national emergencies.
Litigation Relating to Delta's Participation in Pan Am's Plan of Reorganization. On March 6, 1992, Pan Am, the Creditors Committee and the
Ad Hoc Committee of Administrative and Priority Creditors of Pan Am filed a consolidated amended complaint (the "Complaint") against
Delta relating to Delta's participation in Pan Am's proposed plan of reorganization. The Complaint alleged, among other things, that Delta
breached its contractual obligations and promises to participate in the plan of reorganization; violated its duty of good faith and fair dealing;
breached its fiduciary duties to Pan Am and its creditors; and acted in bad faith. The United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York ("District Court") conducted a trial between May 4, 1994 and June 10, 1994 on liability issues. In an opinion and order dated
December 22, 1994, the District Court (1) ruled that Delta had no liability in this lawsuit; (2) ordered Pan Am to repay to Delta the DIP Loan;
and (3) held that the Creditors Committee had no liability to Delta under Delta's counterclaims. No party appealed the District Court's decision,
and the time period for filing an appeal expired on February 6, 1995.
Certain other legal actions relating to Delta's participation in Pan Am's proposed plan of reorganization are still pending including, among
others, the following actions.
On March 12, 1992, a purported class action complaint was filed against Delta in the District Court by former Pan Am employees who allege,
among other things, that they were intended third-party beneficiaries of Delta's agreement with Pan Am to participate in Pan Am's proposed
plan of reorganization. The former employees, who have requested and are entitled to a jury trial, make allegations and claims similar to those
asserted in the Complaint described above. In their complaint, the former employees seek damages of at least $1.1 billion for loss of
employment, loss of continued wages and benefits with a reorganized Pan Am and out-of-pocket losses; costs and attorneys' fees; and other
unspecified relief. On July 8, 1992, Delta filed its answer denying liability in this lawsuit and asserting various affirmative defenses.
Additionally, Delta filed a third party complaint against the Creditors Committee, its individual members and Pan Am alleging that these
parties are liable to Delta for any amounts that plaintiffs in this lawsuit may recover from Delta. Pan Am filed an answer denying liability to
Delta; the Creditors Committee and its members filed a motion to dismiss Delta's third party complaint. On December 4, 1992, the District
Court dismissed Delta's third party complaint against the Creditors Committee and its members, but granted Delta permission to replead its
claims. On January 25,
-

-
1993, Delta filed an amended third party complaint against the Creditors Committee and its members, who filed a motion to dismiss Delta's
amended claims. The District Court (1) denied plaintiffs' motion for class action certification on March 10, 1993 and reaffirmed this order on
August 6, 1993; and (2) denied the motion by the Creditors Committee and its members to dismiss Delta's amended third party complaint on
August 18, 1993. On September 24, 1993, the Creditors Committee and its members answered Delta's amended third party complaint, denying
liability to Delta and asserting various affirmative defenses. On December 14, 1993, the District Court denied plaintiffs' motion requesting the
District Court to reconsider its order denying plaintiffs' motion for class action certification or, alternatively, to permit an immediate appeal of
that order. On February 28, 1994, Delta filed a motion for summary judgment on all of plaintiffs' claims in this lawsuit; the plaintiffs are
opposing this motion. Also on February 28, 1994, the Creditors Committee and its members filed motions for summary judgment on Delta's
third party claims for indemnification and contribution in this lawsuit; Delta is opposing these motions. On April 28, 1995, Delta filed a
supplementary memorandum in support of its motion for summary judgment on all of plaintiffs' claims; the plaintiffs continue to oppose this
motion, which is pending before the District Court. On or about September 15, 1995, Delta and the plaintiffs agreed to settle this lawsuit
subject to the completion of definitive settlement documents and approval of the settlement by the District Court.
On September 10, 1992, a lawsuit was filed against Delta in the District Court by approximately 120 former Pan Am pilots who make
allegations and claims similar to those asserted in the purported class action complaint by former Pan Am employees described in the preceding
paragraph. In their complaint, the plaintiffs, who have requested and are entitled to a jury trial, seek unspecified damages for lost wages and
benefits and out-of-pocket losses; costs and attorneys' fees; and other unspecified relief. On January 8, 1993, Delta filed its answer denying
liability in this lawsuit and asserting various affirmative defenses. Additionally, Delta filed a third party complaint against the Creditors
Committee and its individual members alleging that these parties are liable to Delta for any amounts that plaintiffs in this lawsuit may recover
from Delta. The Creditors Committee and its members filed a motion to dismiss Delta's third party complaint. On August 18, 1993, the District
Court denied this motion. On September 24, 1993, the Creditors Committee and its members answered Delta's third party complaint, denying
liability to Delta and asserting various affirmative defenses. On February 28, 1994, Delta filed a motion for summary judgment on all of
plaintiffs' claims in this lawsuit; the plaintiffs are opposing this motion. Also on February 28, 1994, the Creditors Committee and its members
filed motions for summary judgment on Delta's third party claims for indemnification and contribution in this lawsuit; Delta is opposing these
motions. On April 28, 1995, Delta filed a supplementary memorandum in support of its motion for summary judgment on all of plaintiffs'
claims; the plaintiffs continue to oppose this motion, which is pending before the District Court. On or about September 15, 1995, Delta and the
plaintiffs (except one plaintiff who cannot be located) agreed to settle this lawsuit subject to the completion of definitive settlement documents
and approval of the settlement by the District Court.
A purported class action complaint was commenced against Delta in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, on
behalf of participants of Pan Am's WorldPass Frequent Flyer Program ("WorldPass") who elected to obtain Pan Am WorldPass travel
certificates rather than to transfer their accumulated miles into Delta's frequent flyer program.
-

-
The WorldPass participants were seeking unspecified damages, costs and attorneys' fees, and other unspecified relief. Delta removed this action
to the Bankruptcy Court. On April 6, 1992, Delta filed its answer denying liability in this lawsuit and asserting various affirmative defenses. On
July 5, 1995, the plaintiff and Delta filed with the Bankruptcy Court a joint application for the voluntary dismissal of this lawsuit with prejudice
as to the plaintiff and without prejudice as to all other putative class members. The Bankruptcy Court approved the joint application on
September 21, 1995.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Flight Equipment
Information relating to Delta's aircraft fleet is set forth under "Operational Review - Aircraft Fleet" on pages 9-10, and in Notes 8 and 9 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 32
-33, of Delta's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Ground Facilities
Delta leases most of the land and buildings that it occupies. The Company's largest aircraft maintenance base, various computer, cargo, flight
kitchen and training facilities and most of its principal offices are located at or near Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia,
on land leased from the City of Atlanta under long-term leases. Delta owns a portion of its principal offices, its Atlanta reservations center and
other improved and unimproved real property in Atlanta, as well as a limited number of radio transmitting and receiving sites and certain other
facilities.
Delta leases ticket counter and other terminal space, operating areas and air cargo facilities in most of the airports which it serves. These leases
generally run for periods of from less than one year to thirty years or more, and contain provisions for periodic adjustment of lease rates. At
most airports which it serves, Delta has entered into use agreements which provide for the non-exclusive use of runways, taxiways, and other
facilities; landing fees under these agreements normally are based on the number of landings and weight of aircraft. The Company also leases
aircraft maintenance facilities at certain airports, generally under long-
term leases which cover the cost of providing, operating and maintaining
such facilities. In addition, Delta leases marketing, ticket and reservations offices in certain major cities which it serves; these leases are
generally for shorter terms than the airport leases. Additional information relating to Delta's ground facilities is set forth in Notes 4 and 8 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 29 and 32
-33 of Delta's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, and is incorporated herein
by reference.
In recent years, some airports have increased or sought to increase the rates charged to airlines to levels that, in the airlines' opinion, are
unreasonable. The extent to which such charges are limited by statute or regulation and the ability of airlines to contest such charges has been
subject to litigation and to administrative proceedings before the DOT. If the limitations on such charges are relaxed or the ability of airlines to
challenge such charges is restricted, the rates charged by airports to airlines may increase substantially.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In January 1987, the Association of Flight Attendants ("AFA"), the collective bargaining agent for the flight attendants at Western Air Lines,
Inc. ("Western") prior to the merger of Western into Delta on April 1, 1987 (the "Merger"), filed suit against Western in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia. The AFA suit sought to compel Western to arbitrate a grievance alleging that Western breached the
AFA-Western collective bargaining agreement by not requiring Delta (1) to be bound by that agreement; and (2) to recognize the AFA as
representing the former Western flight attendants after the Merger. The District Court dismissed the action on the grounds that the grievance
raised representation matters which under the Railway Labor Act are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the National Mediation Board (which
subsequently ruled that the representation certification of the AFA at Western terminated on April 1, 1987). The AFA appealed to the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which reversed the District Court's dismissal of the AFA's action to compel arbitration,
ruling
(1) that the AFA's claim based on any right of continued representation is moot; (2) that the AFA's claim for damages is not moot; and (3) that
an arbitrator has authority under the Railway Labor Act to adjudicate the AFA's grievance to the extent it seeks damages for Western's alleged
breach of the collective bargaining agreement. Delta then filed a petition for certiorari in the United States Supreme Court which, on April 2,
1990, refused to review the Court of Appeals' decision. As a result, arbitration of the AFA's grievance will proceed and, if the AFA's claim is
upheld, damages could be assessed against Delta. Delta has a number of defenses which it considers to be valid, and will vigorously assert
these defenses in the arbitration.
On May 16, 1994, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against
Delta and certain Delta officers in their capacity as members of the Administrative Committee responsible for administering certain Company
employee benefit plans. The plaintiffs, who have requested a jury trial, are 21 former Delta employees who seek to represent the class
consisting of the approximately 1,800 former non-pilot employees of Delta who retired from active service between July 23, 1992 and January
1, 1993. The complaint alleges that Delta violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by (1) modifying health benefits for this
group of retirees in spite of alleged oral and written representations that it would not make any such modifications; (2) breaching its fiduciary
duties and interfering with plaintiffs' benefits by making such modifications and by allegedly giving false assurances that no enhanced
retirement benefit incentives were being considered or would be offered in the future; and (3) discriminating against certain benefit plan
participants. The complaint also alleges, among other things, that Delta breached a contract with plaintiffs by amending Delta's pass policy to
suspend the flight privileges of a retiree during any period such retiree is employed by certain other airlines. Plaintiffs are seeking injunctive
relief, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, costs and attorneys' fees, and such other relief as the District Court deems appropriate.
On July 18, 1994, Delta filed its answer denying liability under the complaint and asserting various affirmative defenses. On November 4,
1994, the District Court (1) denied the plaintiffs' motion for class action certification; and (2) granted Delta's motion to dismiss plaintiffs'
claims concerning Delta's pass policy for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On January 11, 1995, the District Court denied plaintiffs' motion
requesting the District Court to reconsider its November 4, 1994 decision, but granted plaintiffs' motion to permit an immediate appeal of that
order. The plaintiffs then filed a petition to appeal with the
-
15
-
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit which, on March 8, 1995, agreed to hear plaintiffs' appeal of the District Court's
November 4, 1994 decision. Delta intends to defend this matter vigorously.
On February 10, 1995, Delta changed its domestic travel agency commission program by introducing a maximum commission payment of $50
for any round trip domestic airline ticket with a base fare in excess of $500, and $25 for any one-way domestic airline ticket with a base fare in
excess of $250. The maximum commission applies to all tickets issued by United States and Canada-based travel agencies for travel on Delta
flights within and between the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. Most of the major
United States airlines subsequently adopted similar commission cap programs.
Travel agents and a travel agency trade association have filed more than 30 class action antitrust lawsuits in various federal district courts
against airlines, including Delta, that implemented new travel agent commission cap programs. The plaintiffs, who are seeking unspecified
treble damages under the antitrust laws and an injunction to prevent the airlines from maintaining the new commission cap programs, allege
that the defendants conspired to reduce the commissions paid to travel agents in violation of the Sherman Act. On June 1, 1995, the Judicial
Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated these cases for pretrial proceedings before the United States District Court in Minneapolis, which
has certified a plaintiff class consisting of all travel agents in the United States who sold airline tickets subject to the commission cap on
American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, TWA, United or USAir. On August 18, 1995, the District Court approved a settlement agreement
between TWA and the plaintiffs under which TWA represented it had terminated its commission cap program and agreed, among other things,
to pay the commissions it would have paid between specified dates had its commission cap program not been in place. On August 23, 1995, the
District Court denied the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction, as well as the motions for summary judgment filed by the airline
defendants (except TWA). On September 12, 1995, the airlines (except TWA) filed a motion with the District Court to permit an immediate
appeal of the District Court's ruling denying the airlines' motions for summary judgment; the District Court has not yet ruled on this motion.
Delta believes the allegations against it are without merit, and it intends to defend these matters vigorously.
Delta is also a defendant in certain other legal actions relating to alleged employment discrimination practices, other matters concerning past
and present employees, environmental issues and other matters concerning Delta's business. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters,
the matters discussed above in this Item 3, and the litigation relating to Delta's participation in Pan Am's proposed plan of reorganization (see
"ITEM 1. Business-Transactions with Pan Am Corporation" on pages 11-14 of this Form 10-K) cannot be predicted with certainty and could
have a material adverse effect on Delta's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, management presently believes that
the resolution of these actions is not likely to have a material adverse effect on Delta's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.

For a discussion of certain environmental matters, see "ITEM 1. Business - Environmental Matters" on pages 8-9 of this Form 10-K. For a
discussion of the settlement of certain antitrust litigation, see "Financial Review - Future Outlook - Antitrust Settlement" on page 17 of Delta's
1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Several United States carriers, including Delta, have received civil investigative demands from the United States Department of Justice related
to an antitrust investigation of incentives paid by airlines to travel agents in excess of base commission payments. In response to the civil
investigative demands, Delta has produced documents relating to its travel agent programs. Delta believes that its travel agent programs are
legal and that it has not violated the antitrust laws.

ARTICLE 3. ADMINISTRATION
3.1 THE COMMITTEE. The Plan shall initially be administered by the Personnel, Compensation & Nominating Committee of the Board.
Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Board may appoint a successor Committee to administer the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be
appointed by, must be members of, and shall serve at the discretion of, the Board.
3.2 AUTHORITY OF THE COMMITTEE. Except as limited by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, and
subject to the provisions herein, the Committee shall have full power to select Employees who shall participate in the Plan; determine the size
and types of Award Opportunities and Final Awards; determine the terms and conditions of Award Opportunities in a manner consistent with
the Plan; construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under the Plan; establish, amend, or waive rules and
regulations for the Plan's administration; and (subject to the provisions of Article 8 herein) amend the terms and conditions of any outstanding
Award Opportunity to the extent such terms and conditions are within the sole discretion of the Committee as provided in the Plan. Further, the
Committee shall make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. As permitted by law,
the Committee may delegate its authority hereunder.
3.3 DECISIONS BINDING. All determinations and decisions of the Committee as to any disputed question arising under the Plan, including
questions of construction and interpretation, shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon all parties.
ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
4.1 ELIGIBILITY. All Employees who are deemed by the Committee to be key employees shall be eligible to participate in the Plan for such
Plan Year.
4.2 PARTICIPATION. No later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of each Plan Year, the Committee shall determine participation in the
Plan based upon the criteria set forth in Section 4.1 herein. Employees who are chosen to participate in the Plan in any given Plan Year shall be
so notified in writing, and shall be apprised of the performance measure(s), performance goal(s), and related Award Opportunities for the
relevant Plan Year, as soon as is practicable.
4.3 PARTIAL PLAN YEAR PARTICIPATION. An Employee who becomes eligible after the beginning of a Plan Year may participate in the
Plan for that Plan Year; however, such Employee's Target Incentive Award shall be prorated to reflect his or her months of participation during
the Plan Year. Such situations may include, but are not limited to (a)
3
new hires; (b) when an Employee is promoted to a position which meets the eligibility criteria; or (c) when an Employee is transferred from an
affiliate which does not participate in the Plan.
The Committee, in its sole discretion, retains the right to prohibit or allow participation in the initial Plan Year of eligibility for any of the
aforementioned Employees.
4.4 NO RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. No Participant or other Employee shall at any time have a right to be selected for participation in the Plan
for any Plan Year, despite having previously participated in the Plan.
ARTICLE 5. AWARD DETERMINATION
5.1 PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND PERFORMANCE GOALS. No later than ninety
(90) days after the beginning of each Plan Year, the Committee shall select performance measures and shall establish performance goals for
that Plan Year. Except as provided in Article 8 herein, the performance measures may be based on any combination of corporate, divisional,
and/or individual goals.
For each Plan Year, the Committee shall establish ranges of attainment of the performance goals which will correspond to various levels of
Award Opportunities. Each performance goal range shall include a level of performance at which one hundred percent (100%) of the Target
Incentive Award may be earned. In addition, each range shall include levels of performance above and below the one hundred percent (100%)
performance level at which a greater or lesser percent of the Target Incentive Award may be earned.
After the performance goals are established, the Committee will align the achievement of the performance goals with the Award Opportunities
(as described in Section 5.2 herein), such that the level of achievement of the pre-
established performance goals at the end of the Plan Year will
determine the Final Awards. Except as provided in Article 8 herein, the Committee shall have the authority to exercise subjective discretion in
the determination of Final Awards.
The Committee may establish one or more Company-
wide performance measures which must be achieved for any Participant to receive a Final
Award payment for that Plan Year.
Following the completion of each Plan Year, if the performance goals were met, the Committee shall certify in writing that the performance
goals for such Plan Year were satisfied.
5.2 AWARD OPPORTUNITIES. No later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of each Plan Year, the Committee shall establish, in
writing, Award Opportunities, which correspond to various levels of achievement of the pre- established performance goals. The established
Award Opportunities may vary in relation to the job classification of each Participant or
4
among Participants in the same job classification. Except as provided in Article 8 herein, in the event a Participant changes job levels during a
Plan Year, the Participant's Award Opportunity may be adjusted to reflect the amount of time at each job level during the Plan Year.
5.3 ADJUSTMENT OF PERFORMANCE GOALS AND AWARD OPPORTUNITIES. Once established, performance goals normally shall
not be changed during the Plan Year. However, except as provided in Article 8 herein, if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that
external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially affected the fairness of the goals, then the Committee may approve
appropriate adjustments to the performance goals (either up or down) during the Plan Year as such goals apply to the Award Opportunities of
specified Participants.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event of any change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, or a corporate
transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any
reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Code Section 368), or any partial or complete
liquidation of the Company, such adjustment shall be made in the Award Opportunities and/or the performance measures or performance goals
related to then-current performance periods, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to
prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; provided, however, that subject to Article 8 herein, any such adjustment shall not be made if it would
eliminate the ability of Award Opportunities held by Executive Officers to qualify for the "performance-based" exception under Code Section
162(m).
5.4 FINAL AWARD DETERMINATIONS. As soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year, Final Awards shall be computed for each
Participant as determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of Article 8 herein, Final Award amounts may vary above or below the Target
Incentive Award, based on the level of achievement of the pre-
established corporate, divisional, and/or individual performance goals. Except as
provided in Article 8 herein, the Committee shall have discretion to increase, reduce or eliminate any or all Final Awards that otherwise would
be paid.
5.5 AWARD LIMIT. The Committee may establish guidelines governing the maximum Final Awards that may be earned by Participants
(either in the aggregate, by Employee class, or among individual Participants) in each Plan Year. The guidelines may be expressed as a
percentage of Company-wide goals of financial measures, or such other measures as the Committee shall from time to time determine;
provided, however, that the maximum payout with respect to a Final Award payable to any one Participant in connection with performance in
any one Plan Year shall be three million dollars ($3,000,000).
5.6 THRESHOLD LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE. The Committee may establish minimum levels of performance goal achievement, below
which no payouts of Final Awards shall be made to any Participant.
5
ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT OF FINAL AWARDS
6.1 FORM AND TIMING OF PAYMENT. Unless a deferral election is made by a Participant pursuant to Section 6.2 herein, or deferral of all
or a portion of a Participant's Final Award is required by Section 6.3, each Participant's Final Award shall be paid in cash, in one lump sum,
within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Plan Year.
6.2 VOLUNTARY DEFERRAL OF FINAL AWARD PAYOUTS. A Participant may defer receipt of some or all payments otherwise due
under the Plan pursuant to the terms of the Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.
6.3 REQUIRED DEFERRAL OF FINAL AWARD PAYOUTS. In the event that all or a portion of a Participant's Final Award is not
deductible by the Company due to limits contained in Code Section 162(m) or any successor Code Section, payment of the nondeductible
portion of such Final Award shall be deferred until such time as it may be deducted by the Company subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee determines to be appropriate. Rates of interest on such deferred amounts shall be determined by the Committee in a manner
consistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the Regulations thereunder.
6.4 UNSECURED INTEREST. No Participant or any other party claiming an interest in amounts earned under the Plan shall have any interest
whatsoever in any specific asset of the Company. To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right
shall be equivalent to that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
ARTICLE 7. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
7.1 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. In the event Participant's employment is
terminated by reason of death, Disability, or Retirement, the Final Award determined in accordance with
Section 5.4 herein shall be reduced to reflect participation prior to termination only. The reduced award shall be determined by multiplying said
Final Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of employment in the Plan Year through the date of employment
termination, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365). In the case of a Participant's Disability, the employment
termination shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the Committee determines the definition of Disability to have been satisfied.
The Final Award thus determined shall be paid within seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Plan Year in which employment
termination occurs.
7.2 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR OTHER REASONS. In the event a Participant's employment is terminated for any reason
other than death, Disability, or Retirement (of which the Committee shall be the sole judge), the Participant's opportunity to receive a Final
Award for the Plan Year then in progress shall be forfeited. However, the Committee, in its sole
6
discretion, may pay a prorated award for the portion of the Plan Year that the Participant was employed by the Company, computed as
determined by the Committee.
ARTICLE 8. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
8.1 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE 8. The provisions of this Article 8 shall apply only to Executive Officers. In the event of any
inconsistencies between this Article 8 and the other Plan provisions as they pertain to Executive Officers, the provisions of this Article 8 shall
control.
8.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF AWARD OPPORTUNITIES. Except as provided in
Section 8.7 herein, Award Opportunities for Executive Officers shall be established as a function of each Executive Officer's Base Salary (as
defined below). No later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of each Plan Year, the Committee shall establish, in writing, various levels of
Final Awards which may be paid with respect to specified levels of attainment of the pre-established performance goals.
For purposes of this Article 8, "Base Salary" shall mean, as to any specific Plan Year, a Participant's regular annual salary rate as of the first
day of the Plan Year. Regular salary shall not be reduced by any voluntary salary reductions or any salary reduction contributions made to any
defined contribution plan or other deferred compensation plans of the Company, but shall not include any payments under this Plan or any
other bonuses, incentive pay, or special awards.
8.3 COMPUTATION OF FINAL AWARDS. Each Executive Officer's Final Award shall be based on: (a) the Executive Officer's Target
Incentive Award;
(b) the potential Final Awards corresponding to various levels of achievement of the pre-established performance goals, as established by the
Committee; and
(c) Company performance in relation to the pre-
established performance goals. Except as provided in Section 8.7 herein, performance measures
which may serve as determinants of Executive Officers' Award Opportunities shall be limited to the Company's Pretax Income, Return on
Assets, Operating Cash Flow, Return on Equity, Growth in Revenues, Net Income, Net Profit Margin, Operating Profit Margin and Earnings
per Share.
8.4 NO MID-YEAR CHANGE IN AWARD OPPORTUNITIES. Except as provided in
Section 8.7 herein, each Executive Officer's Final Award shall be based exclusively on the Award Opportunity levels established by the
Committee pursuant to Section 8.2 above.
8.5 NONADJUSTMENT OF PERFORMANCE GOALS. Except as provided in
Section 8.7 herein, performance goals shall not be changed following their establishment, and Executive Officers shall not receive any payout
when the minimum performance goals are not met or exceeded.
8.6 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE AND DISCRETIONARY ADJUSTMENTS. Except as provided in the second sentence of this Section
8.6 and in Section 8.7 herein, subjective evaluations of
7
individual performance of Executive Officers shall not be reflected in their Final Awards. However, the Committee shall have the discretion to
reduce or eliminate the amount of the Final Award otherwise payable to an Executive Officer.
8.7 POSSIBLE MODIFICATIONS. If, on the advice of the Company's counsel, the Committee determines that Code Section 162(m) and the
Regulations thereunder will not adversely affect the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of any amount paid under the Plan by
permitting greater discretion and/or flexibility with respect to Award Opportunities granted to Executive Officers pursuant to this Article 8,
then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, apply such greater discretion and/or flexibility to such Award Opportunities as is consistent with
such advice and the terms of this Plan, and, to the extent permitted by such advice, without regard to the restrictive provisions of this Article 8.
In addition, in the event that changes are made to Code Section 162(m) or the Regulations thereunder to permit greater flexibility with respect
to any Award Opportunities under the Plan, the Committee may exercise such greater flexibility consistent with the terms of the Plan and, to
the extent of such changes, without regard to the restrictive provisions of this Article 8.
ARTICLE 9. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS
9.1 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's
employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.
9.2 NONTRANSFERABILITY. No right or interest of any Participant in the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, or subject to any lien,
directly, by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, and bankruptcy.
ARTICLE 10. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.
Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit.
Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be
effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during his or her lifetime. Beneficiary designations filed with respect
to predecessor plans prior to the adoption of this Plan shall be effective with respect to this Plan. In the absence of any such designation,
benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate.

of the Board. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Board may appoint a successor Committee to administer the Plan. The members of the
Committee shall be appointed by, must be members of, and shall serve at the discretion of the Board.
Subject to the provisions herein, the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to select Employees for participation in the Plan; to
determine the terms and conditions of each Employee's participation in the Plan; to construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or
instrument entered into under the Plan; to establish, amend, or waive rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; to amend (subject to
the provisions of Article 9 herein) the terms and conditions of the Plan and any agreement entered into under the Plan; and to make other

3.2 CLAIMS PROCEDURE. If a request for benefits by a Participant or beneficiary is wholly or partially denied, the Committee will provide
such claimant written notice setting forth the denial. A review procedure is available upon written request by the claimant to the Committee
within 90 days after the date of the Committee's written notice of the denial of the claim, and includes the right to examine pertinent documents
and submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee. The decision on review will be made within 90 days after receipt of the request
for review, unless circumstances warrant an extension of time not to exceed an additional 90 days, and shall be in writing. If a decision on
review is not made within such period, the Participant's claim shall be deemed denied.
3.3 DECISIONS BINDING. All determinations and decisions of the Committee as to any disputed question arising under the Plan, including
questions of construction and interpretation, shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.
ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
4.1 ELIGIBILITY. Employees eligible to participate in the Plan include key policy-makers and decision-makers of the Company, as selected
by the Committee in its sole discretion. It is the intent of the Company to extend eligibility only to those executives who comprise a select
group of management or highly compensated employees, such that the Plan will qualify for treatment as a "Top Hat" plan under ERISA.
In the event a Participant no longer meets the requirements for participation in the Plan, such Participant shall become an inactive Participant,
retaining all the rights described under the Plan, except the right to make any further deferrals, until such time that the Participant again
becomes an active Participant.
3
4.2 PARTICIPATION. Participation in the Plan shall be determined annually by the Committee based upon the criteria set forth in Section 4.1
herein. Employees who are chosen to participate in the Plan in any given year shall be so notified in writing.
4.3 PARTIAL YEAR ELIGIBILITY. In the event that an Employee first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan during any given year, such
Employee shall as soon as practicable be so notified in writing by the Company and provided with an "Election to Defer Form," which must be
completed by the Employee as provided in Section 5.2 herein; provided, however, that such Employee may only make an election to defer with
respect to that portion of his or her Compensation for such year which is to be paid after the date of filing of the deferral election.
4.4 NO RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. No Employee shall have the right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected for any given
year, to be selected again as a Participant for any other year.
ARTICLE 5. DEFERRAL OPPORTUNITY
5.1 AMOUNT WHICH MAY BE DEFERRED. A Participant may elect to defer up to one hundred percent (100%) of eligible components of
Compensation, including but not limited to Salary, Bonus and Long-Term Awards, in any given year; provided, however, that the Committee
shall have sole discretion to designate which components of Compensation are eligible for deferral elections under the Plan in any such year.
The minimum amount of any single eligible component of Compensation which may be deferred in any given year is the lesser of ten percent
(10%) of such component or ten thousand dollars ($10,000). In addition, an election to defer Compensation in any given year shall be
expressed by each Participant in increments of either ten percent (10%) of the applicable component of Compensation or ten thousand dollars
($10,000).
5.2 DEFERRAL ELECTION. Participants shall make their elections to defer Bonuses under the Plan for a given fiscal year not later than (a)
thirty
(30) days prior to the beginning of such fiscal year or (b) if Participants are notified after the beginning of the fiscal year of their selection to
participate in the Plan for such fiscal year or a partial fiscal year, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Elections to defer Salary
under the Plan for a given calendar year shall be made not later than (x) thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of such calendar year or (y) if
Participants are notified after the beginning of the calendar year of their selection to participate in the Plan for such calendar year or a partial
calendar year, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Elections to defer Long-Term Awards and other payments eligible for deferral
under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the foregoing rules for fiscal or calendar years, as the Committee deems appropriate. All
deferral elections shall be irrevocable; shall relate solely to amounts earned after the filing of a deferral election with the Committee; and shall
be made on an "Election to Defer Form," as described herein.
Participants shall make the following irrevocable elections on each "Election to Defer Form":
4
(a) The amount to be deferred with respect to each eligible component of Compensation for the specified year;
(b) The length of the deferral period with respect to each eligible component of Compensation, pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.3 herein;
(c) The form of payment to be made to the Participant at the end of the deferral period(s), pursuant to the terms of Section 5.4 herein; and
(d) The interest rate alternative(s) with respect to deferrals of Compensation, pursuant to Section 6.2 herein.
5.3 LENGTH OF DEFERRAL. The deferral periods elected by each Participant with respect to deferrals of Compensation for any given year
shall be selected from among the choices specified by the Committee. The Committee shall specify one or more deferral periods which are at
least one (1) year following the end of the calendar year in which the Compensation is earned, and no greater than ten (10) years following such
date; provided, that in no event shall the deferral period extend beyond the end of the calendar year in which the Participant reaches the age of
65. If the Committee does not specify one or more deferral periods, the deferral period choices shall be five (5) years and ten (10) years.
Notwithstanding the deferral periods elected by a Participant, payment of deferred amounts and accumulated interest thereon shall be made to
the Participant, or the Participant's beneficiary designated pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, as the case may be, in a single lump sum in the event
the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated by reason of death or Disability at any time prior to scheduled payment of
deferred amounts and interest thereon. Such payment following employment termination shall be made in cash, within thirty (30) days after the
effective date of termination of the Participant's employment.
5.4 PAYMENT OF DEFERRED AMOUNTS. Subject to the provisions of
Section 5.5, 5.6 and Article 9 of the Plan, Participants shall receive payment of deferred amounts, together with interest earned thereon, at the
end of the deferral period in a single lump-sum cash payment or, if approved by the Committee, by the Participant electing another means of
payment such as in installments. If alternative methods for receiving payment are approved by the Committee, elections of the method of
payment shall be made by the Participant within the same time periods as required in Section 5.2 of the Plan.
(a) LUMP-SUM PAYMENT. A lump sum payment shall be made in cash within sixty (60) days of the end of the deferral period specified by
the Participant, as described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 herein.
(b) INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS. If approved by the Committee, Participants may elect payout in annual installments, with a minimum
number of installments of two (2), and a maximum of fifteen (15). The initial payment shall be made in cash within sixty (60) days after the
commencement date selected by the Participant pursuant
5
to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 herein. The remaining installment payments shall be made in cash each year thereafter, until the Participant's entire
deferred compensation account has been paid. Interest shall accrue on the deferred amounts in the Participant's deferred compensation account,
as provided in
Section 6.2 of the Plan. The amount of each installment payment shall be equal to the balance remaining in the Participant's deferred
compensation account immediately prior to each such payment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1), and the
denominator of which is the number of installment payments remaining.
(c) ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT SCHEDULE. If approved by the Committee, a Participant may elect an alternate payment schedule.
5.5 FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. The Committee shall have the authority to alter the timing or manner of payment of deferred amounts in the
event that the Participant establishes, to the satisfaction of the Committee, severe financial hardship. In such event, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion:
(a) Authorize the cessation of deferrals by such Participant under the Plan;
(b) Provide that all, or a portion, of the amount previously deferred by the Participant shall immediately be paid in a lump-sum cash payment;
(c) Provide that all, or a portion, of the installments payable over a period of time shall immediately be paid in a lump-sum cash payment; or
(d) Provide for another installment payment schedule as deemed appropriate by the Committee under the circumstances.
For purposes of this Section 5.5, "severe financial hardship" shall mean any financial hardship resulting from extraordinary and unforeseeable
circumstances arising as a result of one or more recent events beyond the control of the Participant. In any event, payment may not be made to
the extent such emergency is or may be relieved: (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (ii) by liquidation of
the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or (iii) by cessation of
existing deferrals or new deferrals under the Plan.
Withdrawals of deferred amounts because of a severe financial hardship may only be permitted to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the
hardship. Examples of what are not considered to be severe financial hardships include the need to send a Participant's child to college or the
desire to purchase a home. The Participant's account will be credited with earnings (and debited for any losses) in accordance with the Plan up
to the date of distribution.
The severity of the financial hardship shall be judged by the Committee. The Committee's decision with respect to the severity of financial
hardship and the manner in which, if at all, the Participant's future deferral opportunities shall be eliminated, and/or the manner in which, if at
all,
6
the payment of deferred amounts to the Participant shall be altered or modified, shall be final, conclusive and not subject to appeal.
5.6 CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee in its
sole discretion may direct that all or certain Participants shall be entitled to an immediate lump sum payment of their deferred amounts,
together with interest earned thereon.
ARTICLE 6. DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS
6.1 PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS. The Company shall establish and maintain an individual bookkeeping account for deferrals made by each
Participant under Article 5 herein. Each account shall be credited as of the date the amount deferred otherwise would have become due and
payable to the Participant.
6.2 INTEREST ON DEFERRED AMOUNTS. Compensation deferred under Article 5 shall accrue interest on a basis to be specified by the
Committee, consistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, at a rate equal
to the return on the rate of return choice(s) selected by the Participant from among the alternatives specified by the Committee from time to
time. Interest credited on deferred amounts (less the amount of any debits for any losses) shall be paid out to Participants at the same time and
in the same manner as the underlying deferred amounts.
6.3 CHARGES AGAINST ACCOUNTS. There shall be charged against each Participant's deferred compensation account any payments made
to the Participant or to his or her beneficiary.
6.4 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively) who, upon the Participant's death, will receive the amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant under the Plan.
All designations shall be signed by the Participant, and shall be in such form as prescribed by the Committee. Each designation shall be
effective as of the date received from the Participant by the Corporate Secretary of the Company.
Participants may change their designations of beneficiary on a form prescribed by the Committee. The payment of amounts deferred under the
Plan shall be in accordance with the last unrevoked written designation of beneficiary that has been signed by the Participant and delivered by
the Participant to the Corporate Secretary of the Company prior to the Participant's death.
In the event that all the beneficiaries named by a Participant pursuant to this Section 6.4 predecease the Participant, the deferred amounts that
would have been paid to the Participant or the Participant's beneficiaries shall be paid to the Participant's estate.
In the event a Participant does not designate a beneficiary, or for any reason such designation is ineffective, in whole or in part, the amounts
that otherwise would have been paid to
7
the Participant or the Participant's beneficiaries under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's estate.
ARTICLE 7. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS
7.1 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION. The Plan shall create a contractual obligation on the part of the Company to make payments from the
Participants' accounts when due. Payment of account balances shall be made out of the general funds of the Company.
7.2 UNSECURED INTEREST. No Participant, or party claiming an interest in deferred amounts or contributions through a Participant, shall
have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Company. To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive payments under the
Plan, such right shall be equivalent to that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
The Company may establish one or more trusts, with such trustee(s) as the Committee may approve, for the purpose of providing for the
payment of deferred amounts. Any such trust created by the Company will conform to the terms of the model trust approved by the Internal
Revenue Service pursuant to Revenue Procedure 92-64, or any amendment thereof or successor procedure thereto. Such trust or trusts may be
irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors. To the extent any deferred amounts under
the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the Company shall have no further obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid,
such deferred amounts shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Company.
7.3 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's
employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.
ARTICLE 8. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES
The Company shall withhold from an employee's regular compensation from the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy foreign, Federal,
state, and local income or other withholding tax requirements with regard to amounts deferred under the Plan. However, the Company reserves
the right to institute alternative methods for satisfying the applicable income and withholding tax requirements.
ARTICLE 9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Company hereby reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time by action of the Committee or the Board of
Directors. Except as described below in this Article 9, no such amendment, modification or termination shall in any material manner adversely
affect any Participant's rights to deferred amounts, contributions or interest earned thereon, without the consent of the Participant.
8
The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of "management
or highly compensated employees" within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA, and therefore to be exempt from the provisions
of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. Accordingly, the Board may terminate the Plan and commence termination payout for all or certain
Participants, or remove certain employees as Participants, if it is determined by the United States Department of Labor or a court of competent
jurisdiction that the Plan constitutes an employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA which is not so exempt. If
payout is commenced pursuant to the operation of this Article 9, the payment of such amounts shall be made in a lump sum regardless of the
manner selected by each Participant under Section 5.4 herein as applicable.
ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 NOTICE. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail to the Corporate Secretary of the Company. Notice to the Corporate Secretary, if mailed, shall
be addressed to the principal executive offices of the Company. Notice mailed to a Participant shall be at such address as is given in the records
of the Company. Notices shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark
on the receipt for registration or certification.
10.2 NONTRANSFERABILITY. Participants' rights to deferred amounts and interest earned thereon under the Plan may not be sold,
transferred, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In no event shall the
Company make any payment under the Plan to any assignee or creditor of a Participant.
10.3 SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
10.4 GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the
feminine; the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.
10.5 COSTS OF THE PLAN. All costs of implementing and administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
10.6 APPLICABLE LAW. The Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. In the event that ERISA is
not applicable or does not preempt State law, the laws of the State of Georgia shall govern.
10.7 SUCCESSORS. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence
of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company.

OPERATIONAL
REVIEW
LEADERSHIP 7.5
On April 28, 1994, Delta announced Leadership 7.5, a three-year plan for with the goal of reducing the Company's annual operating expenses
by approximately $2 billion by the end of the June 1997 quarter. Delta also established operating cost per available seat mile (unit cost) goals
of 8.6c. for the June 1995 quarter, 8.0c. for the June 1996 quarter and 7.5c. for the June 1997 quarter. These unit cost goals reflect the phase-in
of the approximately $2 billion in targeted cost savings, exclude restructuring and other nonrecurring charges, and assume other costs and
operating capacity remain at calendar 1993 levels. To the extent other costs increase, the Company will seek additional cost reductions to
achieve its goals.
Industry events during fiscal 1995 validated Delta's determination that cost reductions are essential to compete in today's highly competitive
airline industry. Low-cost, low-fare carriers increased their presence in domestic markets, resulting in continued reductions in Delta's domestic
passenger mile yield and flat or declining domestic unit revenue. At the end of fiscal 1995, approximately 60% of Delta's domestic origin and
destination revenue passenger miles were in markets also served by low-cost, low-fare
[GRAPH]
Percent of Delta's Domestic RPM's Competitive with
carriers, up from 57% at the end of fiscal 1994. The airline industry has experienced a permanent shift in the preferences of its customers, with
more business and leisure passengers citing ticket prices as the most important factor in their purchase decisions.
At the beginning of the Leadership 7.5 program, 11 internal teams developed plans to reach cost reduction goals for their areas. During fiscal
1995, additional teams were established to examine areas outside or beyond the scope of the first phase of Leadership 7.5.
Leadership 7.5 initiatives made a significant contribution to Delta's operating profit in fiscal 1995. The Company achieved its first Leadership
7.5 unit cost target, recording a unit cost of 8.39c. for the June 1995 quarter. By the end of fiscal 1995, the implementation of initiatives
expected to generate approximately $1.6 billion in annual cost reductions was in process or completed.
Key initiatives contributing to fiscal 1995 cost reductions included:
- Outsourcing of certain non-passenger contact functions and changes in staffing formulas in Airport Customer Service, resulting in the
reduction of approximately 3,700 full-time equivalent employees.
- Re-engineering of processes in Technical Operations, resulting in the elimination of approximately 2,300 full-time equivalent employees and
reductions in inventory.
- Implementing a maximum travel agent commission payment of $25 one-way or $50 roundtrip for any domestic ticket with a base fare in
excess of $250 or $500, respectively.
- Adjusting service levels on certain flights and improving flight attendant productivity through staffing changes.
- Changing a number of employee medical and other benefit programs, with greater emphasis on managed care through preferred provider
networks.
- Realigning the Company's domestic route system, with a focus on increasing flying in longer-haul markets and repositioning resources to
produce greater revenue and operating efficiencies.
- Implementing the planned phase-out of the Airbus A310 fleet.
Changes in the Company's collective bargaining agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), which represents the Company's
8,100 pilots, are critical to the continued success of Leadership 7.5 and the Company's ability to achieve its future unit cost targets. Delta is
seeking $340 million in annual productivity improvements and wage and benefit reductions from its pilots. The collective bargaining
agreement became amendable January 1, 1995, and federally mediated negotiations are currently in progress. The outcome of these
negotiations cannot presently be determined.
Delta's cost reduction and unit cost goals are aggressive, and no assurance can be given that Delta will achieve these goals.

AIRCRAFT FLEET
Delta's fleet of 543 aircraft is among the youngest and most technologically advanced in the U.S. airline industry. During fiscal 1995, Delta
focused on refining its aircraft fleet plan to increase operating efficiency and reduce costs.
AIRCRAFT FLEET
At June 30, 1995
During fiscal 1995, Delta accepted delivery of one B-757-200 aircraft, one B-767-300ER aircraft, and also introduced the MD-90 aircraft into
the fleet, accepting delivery of five MD-90 aircraft. The Company returned to lessors four B-727-200 aircraft, four B-737-200 aircraft and one
A310-200 aircraft, and sold two B-737-300 aircraft and three A310-200 aircraft. In addition, the Company extended the lease terms for 40 B-
737-200 aircraft (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
[GRAPH]
Capital Expenditures (In Million of Dollars)
Also during fiscal 1995, Delta entered into a definitive agreement with Federal Express Corporation to purchase, between fiscal years 1995 and
2000, 46 shipsets of Stage 3 heavyweight engine hushkits and 9 spare engine hushkits for B-727-200 aircraft, with an option to purchase an
additional 52 shipsets of Stage 3 heavyweight engine hushkits and 10 spare engine hushkits.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -
FISCAL 1995 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1994
For fiscal 1995, Delta recorded net income of $408 million ($6.32 primary and $5.43 fully diluted earnings per common share after preferred
stock dividend requirements) and operating income of $661 million. In fiscal 1994, Delta recorded a net loss of $409 million ($10.32 primary
and fully diluted loss per common share after preferred stock dividend requirements), and an operating loss of $447 million.

million, compared to a net loss of $77 million ($3.73 primary and fully diluted loss per common share after preferred stock dividend
requirements) and operating income of $79 million in fiscal 1994.
The improvement in financial results for fiscal 1995 versus fiscal 1994 was primarily due to cost reductions under the Company's Leadership
7.5 program. Leadership 7.5 initiatives contributed to cost reductions in most
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
10
expense categories, resulting in a $465 million, or 4%, decline in operating expenses for fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994, excluding
restructuring charges in fiscal 1994. During fiscal 1995, low-cost, low-fare carriers increased their presence in domestic markets served by
Delta, which contributed to a 1% decline in the system passenger mile yield. Traffic stimulated by the influence of low-cost, low-fare carriers,
discount fare promotions and general improvements in economies worldwide offset the yield decline, resulting in a less than 1% increase in
passenger revenue from the previous year.
FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY
Transatlantic and intra-European operations improved in fiscal 1995 from fiscal 1994, but negatively impacted financial results in both years.
In fiscal 1995 and 1994, these operations accounted for 18% and 20%, respectively, of the Company's system available seat miles, and 75%
and 78%, respectively, of the Company's international available seat miles.

Operating revenues for fiscal 1995 were $12.2 billion, up 1% from $12.1 billion in fiscal 1994. Passenger revenue increased less than 1%, the
result of 1% growth in revenue passenger miles, partly offset by a 1% decline in the passenger mile yield to 13.09(cent). Domestic load factor
increased slightly, as domestic revenue passenger miles grew 2%, while domestic capacity rose 1%. Domestic traffic growth is primarily due to
traffic stimulated through the increased presence of low-cost, low-fare carriers in markets served by Delta and discount fare promotions, both
of which contributed to a 1% decrease in the domestic passenger mile yield. International load factor rose five points, as international revenue
passenger miles grew 1% and international operating capacity fell 6%. International traffic growth is mainly the result of generally improved
economies, discount fare promotions and other marketing programs. The international passenger mile yield was unchanged, primarily due to an
increase in full-fare passengers, which offset the impact of discount fare promotions.
[GRAPH]
1995 Distribution of Operating Revenues
Cargo revenues in fiscal 1995 increased 3% to $565 million. Cargo ton miles increased 8%, primarily due to international cargo traffic growth,
and the ton mile yield declined 5%, mainly the result of increases in long-haul cargo traffic, which has lower ton mile yields than short-haul
cargo traffic, and lower domestic mail contract rates.

Revenue-Related Statistics
Operating expenses in fiscal 1995 totaled $11.5 billion, down 8% from $12.5 billion in fiscal 1994. Operating capacity decreased 1% to 130.5
billion available seat miles, and cost per available seat mile declined 7% to
8.84(cent). Excluding restructuring charges in fiscal 1994, operating expenses were down 4%, and cost per available seat mile decreased 3%.
Operating Expense Detail
Salaries and related expenses decreased 5%, due to a 14% reduction in full-time equivalent employees and lower employee travel and benefit
expenses, partly offset by increased costs associated with employee profit sharing and other incentive compensation plans. The decrease in the
number of employees is primarily the result of workforce reductions under the Company's Leadership 7.5 program.
Aircraft fuel expense decreased 3%, as fuel gallons consumed declined 1% and the average price per fuel gallon dropped 2% to 54.09(cent),
Delta's lowest average price per fuel gallon for any fiscal year since 1989.
Passenger commissions expense declined 5%, mainly due to the implementation of a maximum commission payment on domestic tickets and
reductions in commission rates for certain international fares. Aircraft rent expense decreased 8% due to the return of nine aircraft to lessors
and the extension of leases on 40 B-737-200 aircraft in the June 1995 quarter which, for accounting purposes, resulted in those leases being
reclassified from operating leases to capital leases.

expenses increased 1%, primarily the result of higher credit card service charges and increased booking fee payments to computer reservation
system providers, partly offset by lower advertising and promotion expenses.
Contracted services expenses rose 22%, the result of increased outsourcing of information technologies services and certain airport functions.
Passenger service expense declined 15%, reflecting continued benefits from catering changes and other cost reduction programs, partially
offset by increased passenger traffic.
Facilities and other rent expenses increased 15%, the result of new passenger facilities and increased rental rates at certain locations. Aircraft
maintenance materials and outside repairs expense rose 3%, reflecting an increase in scheduled engine repair activity and higher airframe
maintenance costs. Landing fees expense increased 2%, mainly reflecting rate increases at some domestic and international locations.

All other operating expenses decreased 16%, largely due to reductions in certain navigation charges and other miscellaneous expenses, and
favorable foreign exchange rates in fiscal 1995; and higher litigation costs and a $14 million one-time charge related to frequent flyer program
changes in fiscal 1994.
Fiscal 1994 operating expenses include a $414 million restructuring charge related to the Leadership 7.5 program, which includes costs
associated with workforce reductions, reductions in inventory, facilities closings and route terminations, and a $112 million restructuring
charge for costs associated with an early retirement program, under which approximately 1,500 employees elected to retire effective November
1, 1993.
The cash payments for the fiscal 1994 restructuring charges will approximate $473 million, of which $49 million has been incurred; $310
million is associated with workforce reductions and represents future funding of pension and postretirement benefits that will occur over many
periods; and $114 million is designated for costs associated with severance payments and lease termination fees for aircraft and facilities, of
which approximately $90 million is expected to occur during fiscal 1996. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating Statistics
Nonoperating expense for fiscal 1995 totaled $167 million, compared to $213 million in fiscal 1994. Interest expense decreased 4%, primarily
due to a lower average level of outstanding debt, partly offset by an increase in interest expense related to the extension of 40 B-737-200
aircraft leases, as previously discussed. Interest capitalized on funds advanced for the purchase of flight equipment and construction of facilities
declined 9%, primarily resulting from a lower average balance in construction work in progress. Interest income increased 67%, or $38 million,
primarily due to a higher average level of short-term investments and higher interest rates during the year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -
FISCAL 1994 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1993
For fiscal 1994, Delta recorded a net loss of $409 million ($10.32 primary and fully diluted loss per common share after preferred stock
dividend requirements) and an operating loss of $447 million. In fiscal 1993, Delta recorded a net loss of $1.0 billion ($22.32 primary and fully
diluted loss per common share after preferred stock dividend requirements) and an operating loss of $575 million.
Fiscal 1994 results include pretax restructuring charges totaling $526 million ($331 million after tax, or $6.59 per common share), as
previously discussed. Fiscal 1993 results include an $82 million pretax fleet restructuring charge ($52 million after tax, or $1.05 per common
share), reflecting nonrecurring costs associated with the retirement of 21 A310 aircraft. Fiscal 1993 results were also affected by Delta's
adoption effective July 1, 1992, of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109),
which resulted in an aggregate $587 million after-tax charge ($11.78 per common share). See Notes 10 and 15, respectively, of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Excluding restructuring charges and the cumulative effect of accounting changes, the net loss for fiscal 1994 was $77 million ($3.73 primary
and fully diluted loss per common share after preferred stock dividend requirements), and operating income was $79 million, compared to a net
loss of $363 million ($9.49 primary and fully diluted loss per common share after preferred stock dividend requirements) and an operating loss
of $493 million in fiscal 1993.
Operating revenues for fiscal 1994 were $12.1 billion, up 4% from $11.7 billion in fiscal 1993. Passenger revenue increased 3% to $11.3
billion, the result of 3% growth in revenue passenger miles. The passenger mile yield was 13.21(cent) in fiscal 1994, down slightly from the
previous year. Domestic revenue passenger miles increased 1% and the domestic passenger mile yield declined less than 1%, primarily due to
discount fare promotions and the growing

presence of low-cost, low-fare carriers in many markets served by Delta. International revenue passenger miles grew 10% and the international
passenger mile yield increased 3%.
Cargo revenues increased 3% to $551 million in fiscal 1994. Cargo ton miles increased 10%, primarily due to Delta's international expansion,
and the ton mile yield declined 6%. All other revenues were up 22% to $274 million, mainly due to increased revenue from joint marketing
programs and fees collected for passenger ticket changes.
Operating expenses in fiscal 1994 totaled $12.5 billion, up 2% from $12.2 billion in fiscal 1993. Operating capacity decreased less than 1% to
131.8 billion available seat miles. Domestic operating capacity declined 2% and international operating capacity rose 4%, compared to fiscal
1993. The cost per available seat mile increased 3% to 9.50(cent). Excluding restructuring charges in both periods, operating expenses totaled
$12.0 billion in fiscal 1994, down 1% from $12.1 billion in fiscal 1993, and the cost per available seat mile decreased 1% to 9.10(cent).
Nonoperating expense for fiscal 1994 totaled $213 million, compared to $76 million in fiscal 1993. Interest expense rose 27% to $304 million,
principally due to a full year's interest incurred on debt issued in fiscal 1993. Interest capitalized on funds advanced for the purchase of flight
equipment and construction of facilities totaled $33 million, down 46% from fiscal 1993, resulting from a decline in the average balance of
advance payments for aircraft. Interest income for fiscal 1994 totaled $57 million, up from $22 million in fiscal 1993, primarily due to a higher
average level of short-term investments. Gains from the disposition of flight equipment totaled $2 million in fiscal 1994, compared to $65
million in fiscal 1993.
CAPITALIZATION, FINANCING AND LIQUIDITY-
FISCAL YEAR 1995
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $1.8 billion at June 30, 1995, compared to $1.7 billion at June 30, 1994. The
principal sources of funds during fiscal 1995 were $1.1 billion of cash from operations; $139 million from Pan Am Corporation for the
repayment of certain debtor-in-possession financing (including $24 million recorded in cash from operations representing accrued interest, net
of the settlement of certain other claims); and $137 million from the sale of flight equipment.
During fiscal 1995, Delta invested $458 million in flight equipment and $168 million in ground property and equipment. The Company also
made payments of $572 million on long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including Delta's voluntary repurchase and retirement of $403
million principal amount of long-term debt and the Delta Family-Care Savings Plan's (Savings Plan) voluntary prepayment in whole, with
funds provided by Delta, of the $131 million aggregate principal amount of the Savings Plan's 1990 Series A and Series B Guaranteed Serial
ESOP Notes, which were guaranteed by Delta. In addition, the Company paid cash dividends of $80 million on its Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, $30 million on its Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, and $10 million on its Common Stock. The Company may
repurchase additional long-term debt from time to time.
As of June 30, 1995, the Company had negative working capital of $427 million, compared to negative working capital of $313 million at June
30, 1994. A negative working capital position is normal for Delta and does not indicate a lack of liquidity. The Company expects to meet its
current obligations as they become due through available cash, short-term investments and internally generated funds, supplemented as
necessary by debt financings and proceeds from sale and leaseback transactions. At August 18, 1995, the Company also had $780 million of
credit available under its 1992 Bank Credit Agreement, subject to compliance with certain conditions (see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).

Invested Capital (In Millions of Dollars)
During fiscal 1995, Delta extended the lease terms of 40 B-737-200 aircraft which, for accounting purposes, resulted in the reclassification of
the leases from operating leases to capital leases. The Company recorded in its Consolidated Balance Sheets a $385 million increase in flight
equipment under capital leases, net of deferred rent credits, and a $415 million increase in capital lease obligations. See Note 8 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including current maturities, totaled $3.3 billion at June 30, 1995, compared to $3.5 billion at
June 30, 1994. Stockholders' equity was $1.8 billion at June 30, 1995, compared to $1.5 billion at June 30, 1994. The Company's debt-to-

position, including current maturities, was 65% debt and 35% equity at June 30, 1995, compared to 70% debt and 30% equity at June 30, 1994.
During fiscal 1995, Delta elected to discontinue selling new receivables under its revolving accounts receivable facility. See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
At August 18, 1995, there was outstanding $290 million principal amount of the Savings Plan's Series C Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes (Series
C ESOP Notes), which are guaranteed by Delta. The Series C ESOP Notes currently have the benefit of a credit enhancement in the form of a
letter of credit in the amount of $470 million under Delta's 1992 Bank Credit Agreement. Delta is required to purchase the Series C ESOP
Notes in certain circumstances. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
FISCAL YEAR 1994
In fiscal 1994, the principal sources of funds were $1.3 billion of cash from operations, which included $300 million from the sale of certain
accounts receivable (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements); $748 million proceeds from aircraft sale and leaseback
transactions; $226 million of long-term borrowings; and $103 million from the sale of flight equipment. Delta invested $1.0 billion in flight
equipment, net of advance payment refunds of $94 million, and $173 million in ground property and equipment. The Company made payments
of $547 million on long-term debt and capital lease obligations, and paid cash dividends of $80 million on its Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock, $30 million on its Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, and $10 million on its Common Stock.
FISCAL YEAR 1993
In fiscal 1993, the principal sources of funds were $1.4 billion of long-term borrowings; $1.1 billion from the issuance of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock; $684 million proceeds from aircraft sale and leaseback transactions; $677 million of cash from operations; and $87 million
from the sale of flight equipment. Delta invested $1.2 billion in flight equipment, net of $104 million of advance payment refunds received, and
$193 million in ground property and equipment. The Company made payments of $801 million on short-term borrowings, $519 million on
long-
term debt and capital lease obligations, and paid cash dividends of $73 million on its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $35 million on
its Common Stock, and $30 million on its Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective June 30, 1995, Delta adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119, "Disclosure About Derivative Financial
Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments." See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective July 1, 1994, Delta adopted SFAS 112, which resulted in a cumulative after-tax transition benefit of $114 million ($2.25 primary and
$1.42 fully diluted benefit per common share) in fiscal 1995, primarily due to the net overfunded status of the Company's disability and
survivorship plans. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Also effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers'
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" (SOP 93-6). The adoption of SOP 93-6 increased reported net income available to common
stockholders shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations by $8 million for fiscal 1995, and increased primary and fully diluted
earnings per common share for that period by $0.16 and $0.28, respectively. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective June 30, 1994, Delta adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115). The adoption of SFAS 115 resulted in a net increase in stockholders' equity of $53 million at June 30,
1994, primarily related to its investments in Singapore Airlines and Swissair, and may result in volatility in stockholders' equity due to changes
in unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121), which will be effective for fiscal 1997. SFAS 121 requires that the carrying values of long-lived
assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment, and potentially written down,
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
15
asset may not be recoverable. The adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
DEFERRED TAX ASSET - At June 30, 1995, Delta had net cumulative deferred tax assets of $740 million, which consist of $2.1 billion of
deferred tax assets, offset by $1.3 billion of deferred tax liabilities. Included in the deferred tax assets are, among other items, $655 million
related to obligations for postretirement benefits, $284 million related to alternative minimum tax
(AMT) credit carryforwards and $122 million of net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards. The AMT credit carryforwards do not expire; the NOL carryforwards will generally expire in 2008 and 2009 if not utilized prior
to that time.
Management believes that a significant portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized through reversals of existing taxable temporary
differences with similar reversal patterns. To realize the benefits of the remaining deferred tax assets, excluding AMT credits, Delta needs to
generate approximately $1.2 billion in future taxable income. Based on expectations for future taxable income, the extended period over which
postretirement benefits will be recognized, and the fact that AMT credits do not expire, management believes that it is more likely than not that
the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Although Delta experienced book and tax losses in fiscal years 1991 through 1994, the Company reported book and tax income in fiscal 1995.
Furthermore, the Company reported book income in all other fiscal years since 1947, with the exception of fiscal 1983. Following is a
summary of Delta's pretax book income (loss) and taxable income (loss) for the last five fiscal years, prior to NOL carrybacks:
The Company's losses in fiscal years 1991 through 1994 reflect numerous external factors beyond management's control, including weak
economies in a number of regions worldwide and the effects of many deeply discounted fare promotions initiated by other airlines; the Middle
East crisis during fiscal 1991; an uneconomic fare structure implemented by another airline late in fiscal 1992, which spurred a half-off fare
sale in fiscal 1993; and the growing presence of low-cost, low-fare carriers in many of the domestic markets served by Delta.
Management believes that it has taken and continues to take appropriate actions to improve the Company's financial performance, including the
implementation of Leadership 7.5, a three-year plan introduced during fiscal 1994, with the goal of reducing annual operating expenses by
approximately $2 billion by the end of the June 1997 quarter. During fiscal 1995, Leadership 7.5 cost reduction initiatives contributed to a $465
million, or 4%, decline in operating expenses from fiscal 1994, excluding restructuring charges in the 1994 period as previously discussed.
Management is prepared to take further actions to return the Company to consistent levels of profitability.
Delta's ability to generate the expected amounts of taxable income from future operations is dependent upon various factors, many of which are
beyond management's control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Delta will meet its expectations of future taxable income. However,
after considering Delta's earnings history, the actions that Delta has already taken and will continue to take to improve its financial
performance, expectations of future taxable income, and other relevant considerations, management believes that it is more likely than not that
future taxable income will be sufficient to fully utilize the deferred tax assets which existed at June 30, 1995. See Note 15 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
COMMITMENTS - Future expenditures for aircraft, engines and engine hushkits on firm order as of June 30, 1995, are estimated to be $2.9
billion, excluding aircraft orders subject to reconfirmation by Delta. The Company expects to finance these commitments using available cash,
short-term investments and internally generated funds, supplemented as necessary by debt financings and proceeds from sale and leaseback
transactions. The Company also has certain commitments related to its code sharing arrangements and TransQuest. See Note 9 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Company's lease
commitments.
AIRCRAFT FUEL - The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 imposes a 4.3(cent) per gallon tax on commercial aviation jet fuel
purchased for use in domestic operations, effective October 1, 1995. Based on Delta's fiscal 1996 expected domestic fuel requirement of 1.9
billion gallons, the new fuel tax, if implemented, is expected to increase Delta's operating expenses by approximately $80 million annually.
Delta and other U.S. airlines are actively lobbying for a repeal of this tax. The outcome of these efforts cannot presently be determined.

Taxable Income (Loss).... $282 $(411) $(580) $(568) $(204)
TRAVEL AGENCY COMMISSIONS - On February 10, 1995, Delta changed its domestic travel agency commission program by introducing
a maximum commission payment of $50 for any roundtrip domestic ticket with a base fare in excess of $500 and $25 for any one-way ticket
with a base fare in excess of $250. The maximum commission applies to all tickets issued by U.S. and Canada-based travel agents for travel
within and between the Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company expects that this change in
commission structure will result in lower future commissions expenses; however, the impact cannot presently be determined. Certain litigation
challenging these changes is pending (see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
DOMESTIC ROUTE SYSTEM REALIGNMENTS - On May 1, 1995, Delta realigned its domestic route system to position the Company's
aircraft and other resources in areas offering greater revenue-generating potential. As a result of the realignment, Delta increased flights at its
Atlanta, Cincinnati and Salt Lake City hubs, and decreased flights at Boston and its Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles and Orlando hubs.
On August 3, 1995, Delta announced plans to further increase flights at Atlanta and Cincinnati, and further reduce flights at Dallas/Fort Worth,
effective December 1, 1995. Delta Connection carriers replaced or plan to replace Delta service in certain markets as part of the May 1, 1995
and December 1, 1995 route alignments. Due mainly to competitive factors, there can be no assurance that these route realignments will result
in increased passenger revenues.
COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT - Delta expects that low-fare competition is likely to continue in domestic and international markets. If
price reductions are not offset by increases in traffic or changes in the mix of traffic that improve the passenger mile yield, Delta's operating
results will be adversely affected.
ANTITRUST SETTLEMENT - During 1992, Delta and five other U.S. airlines agreed to settle class action claims asserted against them in the
Domestic Air Transportation Antitrust Litigation. Under the settlement, which was approved by the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Georgia in 1994, the six carriers issued $397 million in face amount of certificates for discounts of approximately 10% on
future domestic air travel on any of the six carriers.
Delta will account for the certificates that are redeemed for travel on Delta as a reduction to revenue equal to the value of the redeemed
certificates when transportation is provided. The Company anticipates that its share of certificate redemptions will approximate, but will not
necessarily be limited to, its relative domestic market share among the six carriers, which was approximately 22% in calendar 1994. The
ultimate impact of the settlement on Delta's future revenues, operating margins and earnings is not reasonably estimable, because neither the
face amount of the certificates to be redeemed on Delta nor the generative or dilutive revenue effect of certificate redemptions is known.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delta Air Lines, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (Delta or the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation.
INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATED COMPANIES - The Company's investments in the following companies are accounted for under the
equity method: TransQuest Information Solutions (TransQuest), an information technology joint venture; WORLDSPAN, L.P.
(WORLDSPAN), a computer reservations system partnership; Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc. (ASA); Comair Holdings, Inc. (Comair), the
parent of Comair, Inc.; and SkyWest, Inc. (SkyWest), the parent of SkyWest Airlines, Inc. ASA, Comair, Inc., and SkyWest Airlines, Inc. are
participants in the Delta Connection program. (See Note 3.)
ACCOUNTING CHANGES - Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS 112), and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of
Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" (SOP 93-6). (See Notes 10 and 14, respectively.) Effective June
30, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" (SFAS 115). (See Note 2.) Effective July 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). (See Notes 10 and 15, respectively.)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Investments with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash and cash
equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in short-term, highly liquid investments. These
investments are classified as available-for-sale under SFAS 115 and stated at fair value. (See Note 2.)
COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED - The cost in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill), which is being amortized over 40
years, is related to the Company's acquisition of Western Air Lines, Inc. on December 18, 1986. The Company periodically reviews the value
assigned to goodwill to determine if it has been other than temporarily impaired. Management believes that goodwill is appropriately valued.
LEASEHOLD AND OPERATING RIGHTS - Costs assigned to the purchase of leasehold rights and landing slots are amortized over the lives
of the respective leases at the associated airports. Purchased international route authorities are amortized over the lives of the authorities as
determined by the expiration dates of such authorities. Permanent route authorities with no stated expiration dates are amortized over 40 years.
The Company periodically reviews the values assigned to leasehold and operating rights to determine if they have been other than temporarily
impaired. Management believes that leasehold and operating rights are appropriately valued.
DEFERRED GAINS ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS - Gains on the sale and leaseback of property and equipment under
operating leases are deferred and amortized over the lives of the respective leases as a reduction in rent expense. Gains on the sale and
leaseback of property under capital leases are credited directly to the carrying value of the related asset.
MANUFACTURERS CREDITS - In connection with the acquisition of certain aircraft and engines, the Company receives various credits.
These credits are deferred until the aircraft and engines are delivered, at which time the credits are applied on a pro rata basis as a reduction of
the acquisition cost of the related equipment.
FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAM -
The Company sponsors a travel incentive program (Sky Miles TM) whereby frequent travelers accumulate
mileage credits that entitle them to certain awards, including free travel. The Company accrues the estimated incremental cost of providing free
travel awards under its SkyMiles program when free travel award levels are achieved. The accrued incremental cost is included in accounts
payable and miscellaneous accrued liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company also sells mileage credits to participating partners in the SkyMiles program such as hotels, car rental agencies and credit card
companies. The resulting revenue, net of the incremental cost of the credits sold, is recorded as other operating revenue in the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period in which the credits are sold.
PASSENGER AND CARGO REVENUES - Passenger and cargo revenues are recorded when the transportation is provided. The value of
unused passenger tickets is included in current liabilities as air traffic liability in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Effective July 1, 1994, Delta began recording as reductions of revenue certain international air transportation price adjustments which had
previously been recorded as commissions expense. The related amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 1994 and
1993 have been reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation.
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
27
Delta has entered into code-sharing agreements under which the Company purchases seats from and sells seats to certain foreign airlines.
Under these agreements, each airline separately markets its respective seats. The revenue resulting from Delta's sale of code-sharing seats
purchased from other airlines is reported as other operating revenue, offset by the cost of acquiring these code-sharing seats and other direct
costs incurred in operating the code-sharing flights, in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The revenue generated from
Delta's code sharing seat sales to other airlines is reported as passenger revenue in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION - Prior to April 1, 1993, the Company depreciated substantially all of its flight equipment on a
straight-line basis to residual values (10% of cost) over a 15-year period from the dates placed in service. As a result of a fleet plan review,
effective April 1, 1993, the Company increased the estimated useful lives of substantially all of its flight equipment. Flight equipment that was
not already fully depreciated is being depreciated on a straight-line basis to residual values (5% of cost) over a 20-year period from the dates
placed in service. The effect of this change was a $34 million decrease in depreciation expense and a $22 million ($0.44 per common share)
decrease in net loss for fiscal 1993.
Ground property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated service lives, which range from 3 to 30 years.
Flight equipment under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases, which range from 8 to 15
years.
INTEREST CAPITALIZED - Interest attributable to funds used to finance the acquisition of new aircraft and construction of major ground
facilities is capitalized as an additional cost of the related asset. Interest is capitalized at the Company's weighted average interest rate on long-
term debt or, where applicable, the interest rate related to specific borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the property or equipment
is placed in service.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE - Primary earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Delta common stock (Common Stock) and, if dilutive, Common Stock
equivalents outstanding during the year. Common Stock equivalents consist of the shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options
less the number of shares deemed to be repurchased under application of the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding was 50,657,613 for fiscal 1995; 50,257,721 for fiscal 1994; and 49,836,959 for fiscal 1993.
To compute fully diluted earnings (loss) per common share, it is assumed that all outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
(Series C Preferred Stock), all allocated shares of Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock (ESOP Preferred Stock), the 3.23% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2003 and Common Stock equivalents are converted, if dilutive, into Common Stock. The weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock used to compute fully diluted earnings (loss) per common share was 80,118,720 for fiscal 1995; 50,257,721 for fiscal
1994; and 49,836,959 for fiscal 1993. In addition, to compute fully diluted earnings (loss) per common share, net income or loss is adjusted for
the additional contribution that would be required to service the ESOP's long-term debt if the ESOP Preferred Stock was converted into
Common Stock and for the interest expense that would be avoided if the 3.23% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 were converted into
Common Stock. (See Notes 7, 12, 13 and 14.)
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated generally at exchange rates
in effect at the balance sheet date, except that fixed assets are translated at exchange rates in effect when these assets were acquired. Revenues
and expenses of foreign operations are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year, except that depreciation and
amortization charges are translated at the exchange rates in effect when the related assets were acquired. The resulting foreign exchange gains
and losses are recognized as incurred. Such amounts were not significant for any of the years presented in this report.
2. INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES:
Under SFAS 115, which Delta adopted effective June 30, 1994, the Company's investments in Singapore Airlines Limited (Singapore Airlines)
and Swissair, Swiss Air Transport Company Ltd. (Swissair), which are accounted for under the cost method, are classified as available-for-sale
and carried at aggregate market value. Prior to June 30, 1994, these investments were carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. At June
30, 1995 and 1994, the gross unrealized gain on the Company's investment in Singapore Airlines was $143 million and $109 million,
respectively, and the gross unrealized loss on the Company's investment in Swissair was $12 million and $24 million, respectively. The $83
million and $53 million net unrealized gains, net of the related deferred tax provision, on these investments at June 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, are reflected in stockholders' equity. Delta's rights to vote, transfer or acquire additional shares of the stock of Singapore Airlines
and Swissair are subject to certain restrictions.
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
28
Delta's other investments in available-for-sale securities, which were also carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market prior to the adoption
of SFAS 115, are recorded as short-term investments in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments at June 30, 1995 and
1994, were as follows:
During fiscal years 1995 and 1994, the proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities were $926 million and $473 million, respectively,
which resulted in realized losses of $4 million and $3 million, respectively. The unrealized gains on these investments were less than $1 million
and were reflected in stockholders' equity at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
3. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATED COMPANIES:
The Company's percent ownership in associated companies at June 30, 1995, and equity earnings (losses) for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, were
as follows:
During the December 1994 quarter, Delta and AT&T Global Information Solutions Company (AT&T) formed TransQuest, a joint venture to
provide information technology services to Delta and others in the travel and transportation industries. Delta and AT&T each own a 50%
interest in TransQuest. Delta's investment in TransQuest, which initially consisted of software valued at $25 million, is being accounted for
under the equity method. This investment is recorded as an investment in associated companies in the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Billings for information technology services provided by TransQuest to Delta totaled $66 million in fiscal 1995.
WORLDSPAN provides computer reservations services to Delta. Fees billed to Delta for these services were $78 million in fiscal 1995, $60
million in fiscal 1994 and $47 million in fiscal 1993. Additionally, Delta made monthly subscriber support payments to WORLDSPAN; these
payments totaled $18 million in fiscal 1995, $23 million in fiscal 1994 and $32 million in fiscal 1993. Delta provides communications,
information processing and administrative services to WORLDSPAN; WORLDSPAN reimbursed Delta for these services in the amount of $3
million in fiscal 1995, $15 million in fiscal 1994, and $26 million in fiscal 1993.
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK:
BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: FAIR VALUES -
The carrying amounts reported in the Company's Consolidated Balance
Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values at June 30, 1995 and 1994. Short-term investments classified as available-for-sale
are recorded at fair value in accordance with SFAS 115. (See Note 2).
The fair values and carrying values of long-term debt, including current maturities, at June 30, 1995 and 1994, were as follows:
These values are based on quoted market prices, where available, or discounted cash flow analyses. The carrying values of all other financial
instruments approximate their fair values.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RISKS AND FAIR VALUES - The Company has entered into certain foreign
exchange forward contracts, all with maturities of less than one month, in an effort to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange
rate and interest rate volatility. The aggregate face amount of such contracts was approximately $20 million at June 30, 1995. The related

realized and unrealized gains and losses for such contracts were not material for any of the years presented.
Under the Company's revolving accounts receivable facility (see Note 5), the full amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts related to the
receivables sold was retained, as the Company had substantially the same credit risk as if the receivables had not been sold.
FINANCIAL GUARANTEES - Certain municipalities and airport authorities have issued special facility revenue bonds to build or improve
airport terminal and maintenance facilities that Delta leases under operating leases. Under these lease agreements, the Company is required to
make rental payments sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds as they become due. At June 30, 1995, Delta had guaranteed $675
million principal amount of such bonds.
(See Note 8.)
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Delta's accounts receivable are generated primarily from airline ticket and cargo services sales to
individuals and various commercial enterprises that are economically and geographically dispersed, and the accounts receivable are generally
short-term in duration. Accordingly, Delta does not believe it is subject to any significant concentration of credit risk.
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.

5. SALE OF RECEIVABLES:
In June 1994, Delta entered into a revolving accounts receivable facility (Facility) providing for the sale of a defined pool of accounts
receivable (Receivables) through a wholly-owned subsidiary to a trust in exchange for a senior certificate in the principal amount of $300
million (Senior Certificate) and a subordinate certificate in the principal amount of $189 million (Subordinate Certificate). The subsidiary
retained the Subordinate Certificate, and the Company received $300 million in cash from the sale of the Senior Certificate to a third party. The
principal amount of the Subordinate Certificate fluctuates daily depending upon the volume of Receivables sold. At June 30, 1995 and 1994,
the principal amount of the Senior Certificate was $229 million and $300 million, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction in accounts
receivable in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The principal amount of the Subordinate Certificate at June 30, 1995 and 1994, was
$190 million and $164 million, respectively, and is included in accounts receivable in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Under the terms of the Facility, the Company is obligated to pay fees which approximate the Senior Certificate holder's cost of issuing an
amount of commercial paper equivalent to the principal amount of the Senior Certificate plus certain administrative costs. For fiscal 1995 and
1994, these fees totaled $19 million and $7 million, respectively, and are included in other income (expense) under miscellaneous, net in the
Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During fiscal 1995, Delta elected to discontinure selling new receivables under the Facility, and the Senior Certificate was reduced to $0 on
August 14, 1995.
6. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:
The maximum and average outstanding balances of short-term bank borrowings and the weighted average interest rates during fiscal 1995,
1994 and 1993 were as follows:
At June 30, 1995 and 1994, no commercial paper or short-term notes were outstanding.
7. LONG-TERM DEBT:
At June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company's long-term debt (including current maturities) was as follows:

During fiscal 1995, the Company voluntarily repurchased and retired $403 million principal amount of its long-term debt, and the Delta
Family-Care Savings Plan (Savings Plan) voluntarily prepaid in whole, with funds provided by Delta, the Savings Plan's 1990 Series A and
Series B Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes, which were guaranteed by Delta. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a net
pretax loss of $4 million, which is included in miscellaneous income (expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The 1992 Bank Credit Agreement provides for unsecured borrowings by the Company of up to $1.25 billion on a revolving basis until
December 4, 1996. Up to $700 million of this facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. The interest rate under this facility is, at
the Company's option, an adjusted certificate of deposit rate, the LIBOR rate, or the prime rate, in each case plus a margin which is subject to
adjustment based on certain changes in the credit ratings of the Company's long-term senior unsecured debt. The 1992 Bank Credit Agreement
contains certain negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to grant liens, incur or guarantee debt, and enter into flight equipment
leases. It also provides that if there is a change of control (as defined) of the Company, the banks' obligation to extend credit terminates, any
amounts outstanding become immediately due and payable, and the Company will immediately deposit cash collateral with the banks in an
amount equal to all outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 1995, there were no borrowings outstanding under the 1992 Bank Credit
Agreement, but there was outstanding a letter of credit in the amount of $466 million (which was increased to $470 million at July 28, 1995) to
credit enhance the Savings Plan's Series C Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes (Series C ESOP Notes).
At August 18, 1995, there was outstanding $290 million principal amount of Series C ESOP Notes guaranteed by Delta. The Series C ESOP
Notes, which were issued pursuant to certain note purchase agreements, are payable in installments between July 1, 2002 and January 1, 2009.
The note purchase agreements require Delta to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes at the option of the holders thereof (Noteholders) if the credit
rating of Delta's long-term senior unsecured debt falls below Baa3 by Moody's and BBB-
by Standard & Poor's (Purchase Event); provided that
Delta has no obligation to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes under the note purchase agreements so long as it obtains, within 127 days of a
Purchase Event, certain credit enhancements (Approved Credit Enhancement) that result in the Series C ESOP Notes being rated A3 or higher
by Moody's and A-
or higher by Standard & Poor's (Required Ratings). If Delta is required to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes because of the
occurrence of a Purchase Event, such purchase would be made at a price (Purchase Price) equal to the outstanding principal amount of the
Series C ESOP Notes being purchased, together with accrued interest and a Make Whole Premium Amount. The Make Whole Premium
Amount for the Series C ESOP Notes is based on, among other factors, the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasury Notes having maturities equal to
the remaining average life to maturity of the Series C ESOP Notes as of the date Delta purchases the Series C ESOP Notes.
As a result of Moody's rating action on May 11, 1993, a Purchase Event occurred, and Delta became obligated to purchase on September 15,
1993, any Series C ESOP Notes properly tendered to it. Prior to September 15, 1993, Delta obtained an Approved Credit Enhancement in the
form of a letter of credit (Letter of Credit) to credit enhance the Series C ESOP Notes. The Letter of Credit was issued by NationsBank of
Georgia, National Association (NationsBank), in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (Trustee), under Delta's 1992 Bank Credit
Agreement. Due to the issuance of the Letter of Credit, which is scheduled to expire on December 4, 1996, the Series C ESOP Notes received
the Required Ratings. Accordingly, Delta no longer has an obligation to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes as a result of the Purchase Event
that occurred on May 11, 1993.
At August 18, 1995, the face amount of the Letter of Credit was $470 million. It covers the $290 million outstanding principal amount of the
Series C ESOP Notes, up to $148 million of Make Whole Premium Amount and approximately one year of interest on the Series C ESOP
Notes.
Delta, the Trustee, and Fidelity Management Trust Company, as ESOP trustee, entered into an Indenture of Trust, dated as of August 1, 1993
(Indenture), that contains certain terms and conditions relating to the Letter of Credit. The Indenture requires the Trustee to draw under the
Letter of Credit to make regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Series C ESOP Notes. The Indenture also requires the
Trustee to draw under the Letter of Credit to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes in certain circumstances in which Delta would not be required
to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes under the note purchase agreements. Subject to certain conditions, the Indenture requires the Trustee to
purchase the Series C ESOP Notes at the Purchase Price at the option of the Noteholders in the event that (1) the Required Ratings on the
Series C ESOP Notes are not maintained; (2) the Letter of Credit is not extended 20 days before its scheduled expiration date; (3) Delta elects
to terminate the Letter of Credit; or (4) the Trustee receives notice there has occurred an Event of Default (as defined) under the 1992 Bank
Credit Agreement; unless, generally within 10 days of any such event, the Series C ESOP Notes receive the Required Ratings due to Delta's
obtaining a substitute credit enhancement or otherwise.
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
31
The Required Ratings on the Series C ESOP Notes are subject to reconsideration at any time, and to annual confirmation, by Moody's and
Standard & Poor's. Circumstances that might cause either rating agency to lower or fail to confirm its rating include, without limitation, a
downgrading of the deposits of NationsBank below A3 by Moody's or A- by Standard & Poor's, or a determination that the Make Whole
Premium Amount covered by the Letter of Credit is insufficient.
Subject to certain conditions, the Indenture does not permit the Trustee to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes at the option of the Noteholders if
the Series C ESOP Notes receive the Required Ratings without the benefit of a credit enhancement. The Series C ESOP Notes are not likely to
receive the Required Ratings absent a credit enhancement unless Delta's long-term senior unsecured debt is rated at least A3 by Moody's and
A- by Standard & Poor's. On August 18, 1995, Delta's long-term senior unsecured debt was rated Ba1 by Moody's and BB by Standard &
Poor's.
If the Trustee draws under the Letter of Credit to purchase the Series C ESOP Notes, Delta is required to reimburse NationsBank under the
1992 Bank Credit Agreement by, at Delta's election, (1) immediately repaying the amount drawn; or (2) converting its reimbursement
obligation to an outstanding borrowing under that Agreement. The 1992 Bank Credit Agreement is scheduled to expire on December 4, 1996.
On June 24, 1993, the Company issued $800 million principal amount at stated maturity of 3.23% Convertible Subordinated Notes due June
15, 2003 (Notes). The Notes were issued at an original issue discount of 28.2% from, and bear interest at the rate of 3.23% per annum on, the
principal amount at stated maturity. This original issue discount and rate of interest represents a yield to maturity, compounded semiannually,
of 7.25% per annum. The Notes are convertible at any time prior to stated maturity by the holders thereof, unless previously redeemed, into
shares of Common Stock, at a conversion rate of 12.68 shares per $1,000 principal amount at stated maturity of the Notes, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. The Notes are redeemable at any time on or after June 15, 1996, at the Company's option at a price
(Repurchase Price) for each Note equal to the issue price plus accrued original issue discount to the redemption date, together with accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date. If a Change in Control (as defined) of the Company occurs, the holders of Notes may require the
Company to repurchase their Notes at the Repurchase Price, payable in cash or, at the Company's option, in shares of Common Stock.
At June 30, 1995, the annual scheduled maturities of long-term debt during the next five fiscal years were as follows:
The Company's debt agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, but do not limit the payment of dividends on the Company's capital
stock. The terms of the ESOP Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock limit the Company's ability to pay cash dividends on Common
Stock in certain circumstances.
Cash payments of interest, net of interest capitalized, totaled $210 million in fiscal 1995; $231 million in fiscal 1994; and $171 million in fiscal
1993.
8. LEASE OBLIGATIONS:
The Company leases certain aircraft, airport terminal and maintenance facilities, ticket offices, and other property and equipment. Rent expense
is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amounts charged to rental expense for operating leases was $1.1 billion in
each of fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993.
During the June 1995 quarter, the Company extended the lease terms for 40 B-737-200 aircraft. As a result of the extensions, these aircraft
leases were reclassified, for accounting purposes, from operating leases to capital leases. This event resulted in an increase of $385 million, net
of deferred rent credits, in flight equipment under capital leases, and an increase of $415 million in capital lease obligations in the Company's
Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 1995. This transaction was treated as a noncash transaction in the Company's Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows for the year ended June 30, 1995.

remaining terms of more than one year were as follows:
9. PURCHASE COMMITMENTS:
Future expenditures for aircraft, engines and engine hushkits on firm order as of June 30, 1995, are estimated to be $2.9 billion, excluding
aircraft orders subject to reconfirmation by Delta, as follows:
In addition, at August 18, 1995, the Company had authorized capital expenditures of approximately $300 million for fiscal 1996 for
improvement of airport and office facilities, various ground equipment and other assets.
The Company expects to finance its aircraft, engine and engine hushkit commitments, as well as other authorized capital expenditures, using
available cash, short-term investments and internally generated funds, supplemented as necessary by debt financings and proceeds from sale
and leaseback transactions.
The Company has entered into code sharing agreements under which it has agreed to purchase seats at established prices from specific foreign
airlines, subject to certain conditions. None of these agreements has noncancelable terms in excess of one year.
Subject to certain conditions, Delta has agreed to purchase a minimum of $35 million of products and services from AT&T each calendar year
during the first five years of the TransQuest joint venture between Delta and AT&T. (See Note 3.)
10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
Substantially all of the Company's permanent employees are covered under various defined benefit pension plans, medical plans, and disability
and survivorship plans, and certain employees meeting service requirements are eligible to participate in the Savings Plan discussed in Note 14.
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - The following table sets forth the defined benefit pension plans' funded status and amounts

(1)Substantially all of the accumulated benefit obligation is vested.
(2)Plan assets were invested at June 30, 1995, approximately as follows: cash equivalents (7%), government and corporate bonds and notes
(18%), common stock and other equity-oriented investments (71%) and real estate investments (4%).
The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation were 8.0% and 4.7%, respectively, at June 30, 1995, and 8.25% and 4.8%, respectively, at June 30, 1994. The
expected long-term rate of return on assets was 10% at June 30, 1995 and 1994.
Effective April 1, 1993, the Company increased the expected annual return on plan assets associated with defined benefit pension plans from
9% to 10%. This change reduced pretax operating expenses by $13 million and decreased net loss by $8 million ($0.16 per common share) in
fiscal 1993.

The net periodic cost of defined benefit pension plans for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 included the following components:
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS - Delta's medical plans provide medical and dental benefits to substantially all
retirees and their eligible dependents. Benefits are funded from general assets on a current basis, although amounts sufficient to pay claims
incurred, but not yet paid, are held in trust. Plan benefits are subject to co-payments, deductibles and certain other limits described in the plans
and are reduced once a retiree is eligible for Medicare. The Company has reserved the right to modify or terminate the medical and dental plans
for both current and future retirees.
Effective July 1, 1992, the Company adopted SFAS 106, which requires the accrual of the cost of providing postretirement benefits over the
active service period of the employee. The Company adopted SFAS 106 using the immediate recognition transition option, and recorded a one-
time pretax charge of $1.3 billion ($818 million after tax) as the cumulative effect of the accounting change.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 included the following components:
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) at June 30, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following components:
The weighted average discount rate used to estimate the APBO was 8.0% at June 30, 1995, and 8.25% at June 30, 1994. The assumed health
care cost trend rate used in measuring the APBO was 8.5% in fiscal 1995, declining gradually to 4.25% by 2002, and remaining level
thereafter. The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the APBO was 9.5% in fiscal 1994, declining gradually to 4.5% by 2002,
and remaining level thereafter. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rate annually by 1% for all future years would increase the APBO
as of June 30, 1995, by approximately $156 million, and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $16 million for fiscal 1995.
Gains and losses that occur because actual experience differs from that assumed will be amortized over the average future service period of
employees. Amounts allocable to prior service for amendments to retiree insurance plans are amortized in a similar manner.
The Company continues to evaluate ways in which it can better manage employee benefits and control costs. Any changes in the plan or
revisions to assumptions that affect the amount of expected future benefits may have a significant effect on the amount of the reported
obligation and future annual expense.

Included in the restructuring charges described in Note 16 are aggregate charges of $112 million and $198 million, respectively, for benefit
pension plans and postretirement benefit plans. These charges represent costs primarily associated with special termination benefits and
curtailment losses related to workforce reductions.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS - The Company provides certain benefits to its former or inactive employees after employment but before
retirement. Such benefits primarily include those related to disability and survivorship plans.
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
34
Effective July 1, 1994, Delta adopted SFAS 112, which requires recognition of the liability for postemployment benefits during the period of
employment. The adoption of SFAS 112 resulted in a cumulative after-
tax transition benefit of $114 million in fiscal 1995, primarily due to the
net overfunded status of the Company's disability and survivorship plans. The Company's postemployment benefit expense for fiscal 1995 was
$85 million. The amount funded in excess of the liability at transition was included in other noncurrent assets in the Company's Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Future period expenses will vary based on actual claims experience and the return on plan assets.
11. CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is a defendant in certain legal actions relating to alleged employment discrimination practices, antitrust matters, the Company's
participation in Pan Am's proposed plan of reorganization, environmental issues and other matters concerning the Company's business.
Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and could have a material adverse effect on Delta's
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, management presently believes that the resolution of these actions is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on Delta's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
12. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK:
At June 30, 1995, 5,824,575 common shares were reserved for issuance under the 1989 Stock Incentive Plan, 5,821,573 common shares were
reserved for conversion of the ESOP Preferred Stock, 17,490,306 common shares were reserved for conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock
and 10,149,072 common shares were reserved for conversion of the 3.23% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003.
Each outstanding share of Common Stock is accompanied by a preferred stock purchase right which entitles the holder to purchase from the
Company 1/100th of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $200, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The
rights become exercisable only after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Common Stock, or commences a
tender or exchange offer that would result in such person or group beneficially owning 30% or more of the Common Stock. The rights expire
on November 4, 1996, and may be redeemed by Delta for $0.05 per right until 15 days following the announcement that a person or group
beneficially owns 20% or more of the Common Stock. Subject to certain conditions, if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 30%
or more of the Common Stock, or a person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of the Common Stock receives compensation from Delta
other than compensation for full-
time employment as a regular employee, each right will entitle its holder (other than certain acquiring persons)
to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock having a value equal to two times the right's exercise price. In addition, subject to certain conditions,
if Delta is involved in a merger or certain other business combination transactions, each right will entitle its holder (other than certain acquiring
persons) to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the right's exercise price.
Each share of ESOP Preferred Stock has a stated value of $72; bears an annual cumulative cash dividend of 6%, or $4.32; is convertible into
0.8578 shares of Common Stock (a conversion price of $83.94), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances; has a liquidation preference of
$72, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends; generally votes together as a single class with the Common Stock on matters upon which the
Common Stock is entitled to vote; and has one vote, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The ESOP Preferred Stock is redeemable at
Delta's option at specified redemption prices payable, at Delta's election, in cash or Common Stock. If full cumulative dividends on the ESOP
Preferred Stock have not been paid when due, Delta may not pay cash dividends on the Common Stock.
On July 1, 1992, the Company issued 23 million Depositary Shares, each representing 1/1,000th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock. Each
share of Series C Preferred Stock bears annual cumulative cash dividends of $3,500 (equivalent to $3.50 per annum per Depositary Share); has
a liquidation preference of $50,000 (equivalent to $50 per Depositary Share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends; and is convertible at any time
at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $65.75 per share of Common Stock (equivalent to a
conversion rate of 0.7605 shares of Common Stock per Depositary Share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Except under certain
circumstances, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights.
The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable by Delta at its option on and after July 1, 1995, for such number of shares of Common Stock as
equals the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock being redeemed divided by the conversion price (equivalent to a conversion
rate of 0.7605 shares of Common Stock for each Depositary Share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Delta may exercise its
redemption option only if for 20 trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days, including the last trading
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
35
day of such period, the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds $82.125, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances.
The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and on a parity with the ESOP Preferred Stock with respect to payment of
dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock prohibit Delta from paying cash
dividends on the Common Stock unless (1) all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock
have been paid or set apart for payment; and (2) sufficient funds have been paid or set apart for payment for the current dividend period with
respect to the Series C Preferred Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock.
13. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS:
Under the Company's stock option plans, selected employees have received awards of stock options and, prior to fiscal 1993, tandem stock
appreciation rights.
The option price for all stock options, and the base upon which stock appreciation rights are measured, is the fair market value of Common
Stock on the date of grant. Awards exercised as stock appreciation rights are payable in a combination of cash and Common Stock.
Transactions involving stock options and tandem stock appreciation rights during fiscal 1993, 1994 and 1995 were as follows:
Subject to certain exceptions, stock options and tandem stock appreciation rights, if any, are generally exercisable between one and ten years
after the date of award. Awards outstanding as of June 30, 1995, and the option prices of those awards were as follows:
Substantially all awards of stock options with tandem stock appreciation rights have been exercised as stock appreciation rights. In fiscal 1995,
the Company issued 1,643 shares of Common Stock, at an average price of $65.75 per share, in connection with the exercise of stock
appreciation rights.
14. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN:
The Company sponsors the Savings Plan, a qualified defined contribution pension plan under which eligible Delta personnel may contribute a
portion of their earnings. The Savings Plan includes an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) feature. Subject to certain conditions, the
Company contributes to the ESOP 50% of a participant's contributions to the Savings Plan, up to a maximum employer contribution of 2% of a

participant's earnings.
In connection with the adoption of the ESOP, the Company sold 6,944,450 shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to the Savings Plan for
approximately $500 million. The Company has recorded unearned compensation to reflect the value of ESOP Preferred Stock sold to the ESOP
but not yet allocated to participants' accounts. As shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are allocated to participants, compensation expense is
recorded and unearned compensation is reduced. Interest expense on the Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes is also recorded as an additional
component of ESOP expense.
Effective July 1, 1994, Delta adopted SOP 93-6. Under SOP 93-
6, the compensation and interest components of ESOP costs are reduced by the
amount of dividends accrued on the allocated ESOP Preferred Stock, and only the allocated ESOP Preferred Stock is considered outstanding in
computing primary and fully diluted earnings per common share. Prior to adoption of SOP 93-6, the compensation and interest components of
ESOP costs were reduced by the amount of dividends accrued on all ESOP Preferred Stock, and all ESOP Preferred Stock was considered
outstanding for primary and fully diluted earnings per common share calculations.
The adoption of SOP 93-6 increased reported net income attributable to common stockholders shown in the Company's
DELTA AIR LINES, INC.
36
Consolidated Statements of Operations by $8 million for fiscal 1995 and increased primary and fully diluted earnings per common share for
that period by $0.16 and $0.28, respectively. The provisions of SOP 93-6 require that it be adopted prospectively.
Delta recorded compensation and interest expense, made cash contributions to the ESOP, and incurred actual interest on the Guaranteed Serial
ESOP Notes in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, as follows:
15. INCOME TAXES:
Effective July 1, 1992, Delta adopted SFAS 109, which changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred
method to the liability method. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109 decreased the net loss for fiscal 1993 by $231 million.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, are a result of temporary differences related to the items described as follows:
The alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards do not expire; the net operating loss carryforwards will generally expire in 2008 and 2009 if
not utilized prior to that time.
Management believes, based on the Company's earnings history, the actions that the Company has already taken and will continue to take to
improve its financial performance, expectations of future taxable income, and other relevant considerations, that it is more likely than not that
future taxable income will be sufficient to fully utilize the deferred tax assets which existed at June 30, 1995.

The income tax (provision) credits generated for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 differ from amounts which would result from applying the federal
statutory tax rate to pretax income (loss), as follows:
The Company made income tax payments, net of income tax refunds, of $25 million in fiscal 1995 and received income tax refunds, net of cash
income tax payments, of $13 million in fiscal 1994 and $166 million in fiscal 1993.
16. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:
During fiscal 1993 and 1994, the Company recorded pretax restructuring charges of $82 million ($1.05 primary and fully diluted per common
share) and $526 million ($6.59 primary and fully diluted per common share), respectively. These charges are summarized in the table below:
The fiscal 1993 fleet simplification program included an $82 million restructuring charge related to the planned retirement of 21 Airbus A310
aircraft acquired in 1991 in connection with the Company's purchase of certain assets from Pan Am Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries.
The Company returned 17 of these aircraft to lessors during fiscal 1994, recognizing cash and noncash costs totaling $28 million and $30
million, respectively, and reversed $24 million of the restructuring charge due to lower than expected maintenance costs associated with the
return of the 17 aircraft.
During fiscal 1994, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $526 million, which included a $112 million charge primarily for
special termination benefits relating to an early retirement program under which approximately 1,500 employees elected to retire effective
November 1, 1993, and a $438 million charge for the Company's Leadership 7.5 program announced during the June 1994 quarter, partially
offset by a $24 million reversal related to the fleet simplification charge discussed above.
The $438 million charge for the Leadership 7.5 program includes $280 million for workforce reductions of approximately 8,700 employees
that were expected to occur during fiscal 1995, including pension plan curtailment losses of $33 million, special termination benefits of $165
million (for approximately 2,500 employees), and severance payments and related costs of $82 million. During fiscal 1995, the Company
reduced its staffing by approximately 9,200 personnel, which included the transfer of approximately 1,200 employees to TransQuest and
WORLDSPAN. Cash payments in fiscal 1995 for workforce reductions totaled approximately $30 million, primarily for severance payments,
with the remaining $52 million expected to occur during fiscal 1996. Payments associated with the curtailment loss and special termination
benefits will be expended as required for funding appropriate pension and other postretirement plans in future years.
Also included in the $438 million restructuring charge is $158 million representing cash and noncash costs associated with reductions in
inventory levels, the suspension of service in certain transatlantic markets, and lease termination costs for facilities to be abandoned as a result
of the restructuring. The Company incurred cash costs of approximately $19 million for these initiatives during fiscal 1995, and expects to
incur approximately $38 million in cash costs during fiscal 1996.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Delta Air Lines, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of June
30, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delta Air Lines, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 14 and 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, effective July 1, 1994, the Company changed its methods
of accounting for employee stock ownership plans and postemployment benefits. As discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, effective June 30, 1994, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain debt and equity securities. As discussed in
Notes 15 and 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, effective July 1, 1992, the Company changed its methods of accounting for
income taxes and postretirement benefits other than pensions.
REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The integrity and objectivity of the information presented in this Annual Report are the responsibility of Delta management. The financial
statements contained in this report have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, whose report appears on this
page.
Delta maintains a system of internal financial controls which are independently assessed on an ongoing basis through a program of internal
audits. These controls include the selection and training of the Company's managers, organizational arrangements that provide a division of
responsibilities, and communication programs explaining the Company's policies and standards. We believe that this system provides
reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization; that transactions are appropriately recorded
to permit preparation of financial statements that, in all material respects, are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles; and that assets are properly accounted for and safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibilities for these financial statements through its Audit Committee, which consists solely of
directors who are neither officers nor employees of the Company. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent public
accountants, the internal auditors and representatives of management to discuss internal accounting control, auditing and financial reporting
matters.
