EQUIPMENT TRUST CERTIFICATES
AND PASS THROUGH CERTIFICATES
Atlanta, Georgia (August 18, 2004) - Delta Air Lines, Inc. today began soliciting consents from holders of certain equipment trust certificates and pass through certificates to remove any contractual restrictions on Delta’s ability to purchase or hold those securities. These certificates were issued by trusts that lease various aircraft to Delta to assist in financing the cost of such aircraft. Delta is seeking consents to provide Delta with greater flexibility to effect a successful out-of-court restructuring.
The record date for the determination of holders entitled to give consents is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2004. The consent solicitations will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 31, 2004, unless otherwise extended.
The affected securities are listed below.
Merrill Lynch & Co., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated are the solicitation agents for the consent process. Global Bondholder Services Corporation is the information agent. Persons with questions regarding the terms of the consent solicitations or needing copies of the consent solicitation materials should contact Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (212) 430-3774 or (866) 470-3700.
