Part I ITEM 1. BUSINESS General We are the leading U.S. global airline serving 200 million customers every year. We connect customers across our expansive global network to more than 300 destinations in over 50 countries. We are the world’s largest airline by total revenues and the most profitable with five consecutive years of $5 billion or more in pre-tax income. We are committed to industry-leading safety and reliability and are consistently among the industry’s best performers. Our employees provide world- class travel experiences for our customers and give back to the communities where they live, work and serve. Our people and service are our strongest competitive advantage creating significant customer satisfaction improvements. Other key competitive advantages include operational reliability, our global network, customer loyalty and our investment grade balance sheet. We have diversified revenue streams beyond the basic sale of an airline ticket in order to reduce the impact of cyclicality on our results. Our growing partnership with American Express provides a co-brand revenue stream tied to broader consumer spending. Our focus in recent years on premium products and customer segmentation has enhanced our revenue growth and reduced reliance on the most price sensitive customer segment. We also maintain complementary portfolio businesses, such as our Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (“MRO”) division, where we are well positioned for significant organic growth through contractual agreements with jet engine manufacturers. We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. Our telephone number is (404) 715-2600 and our internet address is www.delta.com. Information contained on our website is not part of, and is not incorporated by reference in, this Form 10-K. The Delta Brand We have the world’s most valuable airline brand, one that is mentioned not just among the best global airlines, but also alongside top consumer brands. Over the last decade, we significantly improved the quality and reliability of our operations. As a result, customer satisfaction scores have more than tripled. With operational excellence and best-in-class service, we are earning our customers' trust and preference. Our continued investment in operations, product, service, airports and technology are reshaping customer perception of our brand and driving increased customer loyalty. Our Global Network and Fleet We offer more than 5,000 daily departures and as many as 15,000 affiliated departures including the premier SkyTeam alliance, of which Delta is a founding member. We generate over 70% of our passenger revenue from our domestic network, centered around high-margin core hubs in Atlanta, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit and Salt Lake City. These core hub positions complement strong coastal hub positions in Boston, Los Angeles, New York- LaGuardia, New York-JFK and Seattle. We have agreements with domestic regional carriers that operate as Delta Connection® to feed traffic to our domestic hubs. We serve the Transatlantic, Transpacific and Latin America markets directly on Delta and through joint ventures with global airline partners. Internationally, we have significant hubs and market presence in Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, Mexico City, Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Seoul- Incheon. We will become the largest U.S. carrier to Tokyo-Haneda in 2020 as we consolidate operations in Tokyo, the preferred airport for the local and corporate markets. Through innovative alliances with Aeroméxico, Air France-KLM, China Eastern, Korean Air, Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia and alliances pending regulatory approval with LATAM Airlines and WestJet, we are bringing more choice to customers worldwide.

    CFA Institute Research Challenge Hosted by Atlanta Society of Finance and Investment Professionals Team J Team J Industrials Sector, Airlines Industry This report is published for educational purposes only by New York Stock Exchange students competing in the CFA Research Challenge. Delta Air Lines Date: 12 January 2017 Closing Price: $50.88 USD Recommendation: HOLD Ticker: DAL Headquarters: Atlanta, GA Target Price: $57.05 USD Investment Thesis Recommendation: Hold We issue a “hold” recommendation for Delta Air Lines (DAL) with a price target of $57 based on our intrinsic share analysis. This is a 11% potential premium to the closing price on January 12, 2017. Strong Operating Leverage Over the past ten years, Delta has grown its top-line by 8.8% annually, while, more importantly, generating positive operating leverage of 60% per annum over the same period. Its recent growth and operational performance has boosted Delta’s investment attractiveness. Management’s commitment to invest 50% of operating cash flows back into the company positions Delta to continue to sustain profitable growth. Growth in Foreign Markets Delta has made an initiative to partner with strong regional airlines across the world to leverage its world-class service into new branding opportunities with less capital investment. Expansion via strategic partnerships is expected to carry higher margin growth opportunities. Figure 1: Valuation Summary Valuation The Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) and P/E analysis suggest a large range of potential share value estimates. Taking a weighted average between the two valuations, our bullish case of $63 suggests an attractive opportunity. However, this outcome presumes strong U.S.

    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.
