These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to reduce operating expenses, our ability to obtain necessary financing to meet our liquidity needs, our ability to meet financial covenants in financing agreements, our pension plan funding obligations, pilot early retirements, the cost of aircraft fuel, the effect of credit ratings downgrades, interruptions or disruptions in service at one of our hub airports, our increasing dependence on technology in our operations, future losses of key employees, the effects of terrorist attacks, restructurings by competitors and competitive conditions in the airline industry. Additional information concerning risks and uncertainties that could cause differences between actual results and forward-looking statements is contained in Delta’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including its Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Commission onMarch 28, 2005. Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on Delta’s forward-looking statements, which represent Delta’s views only as ofMarch 29, 2005, and which Delta has no current intention to update.
