Forward-Looking Statements

     Statements in this Form 8-K which are not purely historical facts, including statements about our estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, may be “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or our present expectations. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, including the extent of the current weakening in the U.S. economy and the related decline in business travel; competitive factors in our industry, including mergers and acquisitions; outcomes of negotiations on collective bargaining agreements and other labor matters; changes in aircraft fuel prices; disruptions to operations due to adverse weather conditions or air traffic control-related constraints; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; governmental actions; the willingness of customers to travel generally and with us specifically; and the outcome of our litigation. Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this Form 8-K. More detailed information about risks and uncertainties as of other dates can be read in Delta’s past and future Forms 10-K and 10-Q and certain Forms 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
