EXHIBIT 99.1

General Comments:

·   Emergence-related items - For the September 2007 quarter, the adoption of fresh start reporting is expected to increase consolidated revenues by approximately $70 million and increase consolidated operating expenses by approximately $55 million. In addition, Delta expects to record approximately $50 million in share-based compensation expense related to previously announced management equity emergence awards. These emergence-related charges equate to an increase in consolidated passenger RASM of 0.14 cents, and an increase in mainline non-fuel CASM of 0.22 cents.

·   Fleet - During the September 2007 quarter, Delta exercised options for two additional Boeing 777-LR aircraft for delivery in 2009. This brings the company’s total firm orders for Boeing 777 aircraft to eight, with three deliveries in 2008 and five in 2009.

·   Liquidity events - On September 5, 2007, Delta fully funded its previously disclosed $650 million debt obligation to the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). Of this amount, $350 million was paid directly to ALPA and the remaining $300 million was deposited in a grantor trust, which will be classified as restricted cash on Delta’s balance sheet (with a corresponding liability) until it is paid to ALPA in January 2008.

Note: Delta presents mainline CASM excluding fuel expense because management believes the high volatility of fuel prices partially masks the progress Delta achieved toward its business plan targets. Delta also excludes profit sharing expense from mainline CASM as management believes the exclusion provides a more meaningful comparison of Delta’s CASM to the industry. In addition, Delta excludes maintenance and staffing services to third parties from mainline CASM as these costs are not associated with the generation of a mainline seat mile.
