Delta Air Lines has introduced a new perks program tailored specifically for SkyMiles members who identify as business travelers. The "Delta Business Traveler" program is designed for business owners, corporate travelers, and employees of small- to medium-sized companies who travel for work, even on an occasional basis.

Delta Air Lines, typically known for its reliability, experienced a significant spike in flight cancellations in July, placing it at the bottom of the U.S. airline industry. This decline was primarily due to the prolonged recovery from the CrowdStrike software outage that struck on July 19.

Delta Air Lines is experiencing a severe operational meltdown, with flight cancellations and delays continuing for the fifth consecutive day following last week's global tech outage. As of 2 p.m. ET, the airline had canceled 466 flights, with its regional carrier Endeavor Air canceling another 28. This crisis has affected an estimated half a million passengers, disrupted travel plans, and prompted a federal investigation.

In an effort to streamline the boarding process and enhance the travel experience, Delta Air Lines (DAL) has announced a significant shift back to a more traditional boarding zone system, a move seen as a return to pre-2019 practices. The decision aims to provide greater clarity and consistency, particularly for infrequent travelers and those facing language barriers at the gate.

Delta Air Lines is set to reestablish its presence in Israel by resuming its service to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) on June 7, 2024. This move comes after Delta, along with its major U.S. competitors American and United, had suspended flights to Tel Aviv in the fall due to the conflict initiated by Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7.
