A new “Delta Spirit” celebrates employees

Delta Air Lines has christened a new Airbus A350 “The Delta Spirit,” paying homage to another aircraft with that name: the airline’s first 767, purchased almost 40 years ago with $30 million raised by employees. The aircraft, which carries a dedication to Delta’s crew members, “recognizes the work everyone has put in to guide this airline to successfully emerge stronger and better than before,” Delta’s Joe McDermott said.
