             DELTA AIR LINES REPORTS RESULTS FOR MARCH 2006 QUARTER

ATLANTA, May 11, 2006 -- Delta Air Lines (Other OTC: DALRQ) today reported
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Key points include:

o        DELTA'S FIRST QUARTER NET LOSS WAS $2.1 BILLION. EXCLUDING
         REORGANIZATION AND SPECIAL ITEMS, THE FIRST QUARTER NET LOSS WAS $356
         MILLION. (1,2)

o        IN APRIL, DELTA REACHED A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH ITS PILOT UNION ON
         CONTRACTUAL CHANGES DESIGNED TO DELIVER $280 MILLION IN AVERAGE ANNUAL
         PILOT LABOR COST SAVINGS.

o        AS OF MARCH 31, 2006, DELTA HAD $3.4 BILLION IN CASH AND CASH
         EQUIVALENTS, OF WHICH $2.4 BILLION WAS UNRESTRICTED.

         Delta reported a net loss of $2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2006,
compared to a net loss of $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2005. Excluding
the reorganization and special items described below, the net loss was $356
million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to a net loss of $684 million in
the first quarter of 2005.

         Delta expects to file its Monthly Operating Report for March 2006 with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court by May 15, 2006. In that report, the company will
report a net loss of $1.6 billion for the month. Excluding reorganization and
special items, the March 2006 net loss was $6 million.

         "While continued losses clearly are unacceptable, Delta's financial
performance for the quarter was in line with expectations, especially in light
of fast-rising fuel prices," said Gerald Grinstein, Delta's chief executive
officer. "Despite these higher fuel costs, however, our company succeeded in
reducing the first quarter operating loss by nearly fifty percent year-over-year
- -- evidence that Delta's plan is on-track. I am extremely grateful to Delta
people for their participation and their commitment to the hard work still ahead
as we build a strong, lean, competitive airline with a long-term future."

AGREEMENT WITH ALPA

         On April 14, 2006, Delta announced that it reached a tentative
comprehensive agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association, its pilot union,
on contractual changes designed to deliver $280 million in average annual pilot
labor cost savings through a combination of changes to wages, benefits and work
rules. The tentative agreement is subject to ratification by Delta's pilots. The
results of the ratification vote are expected on May 31, 2006. In addition to
pilot ratification, the agreement is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

         Excluding special items, first quarter operating revenues increased by
$202 million or 5.5 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2005, despite an
8.6 percent decrease in capacity. Excluding special items, passenger unit
revenues increased 15.2 percent compared to the March 2005 quarter and a 12.4
percent improvement in yields drove the increase in passenger unit revenues. The
load factor for the first quarter was 76.2 percent, a 1.9 point increase as
compared to the first quarter of 2005.

         Excluding special items, operating expenses for the first quarter
decreased 1.2 percent from the corresponding period in the prior year, despite a
fuel expense increase of $266 million attributable to higher fuel prices.(3)
Delta's average fuel price for the first quarter of 2006 was $1.86 per gallon,
compared to $1.42 per gallon in the prior year quarter. Excluding fuel and
special items, mainline unit costs decreased 1.0 percent.(4)

         The March 2006 quarter includes $1.7 billion in non-cash charges for
reorganization and special items. Including those items, Delta's first quarter
operating revenues increased by $13 million or 0.4 percent; passenger unit
revenues increased 12.5 percent; yields increased 9.7 percent; operating
expenses decreased 9.8 percent; and mainline unit costs decreased 5.8 percent,
compared to the March 2005 quarter.

         "Our business plan initiatives to improve unit revenue performance,
optimize our fleet, and reduce costs resulted in more than a half billion dollar
impact to this quarter's financial results," said Edward H. Bastian, Delta's
executive vice president and chief financial officer. "While we are encouraged
by the results of our restructuring efforts, we still have a great deal of hard
work ahead for Delta's turnaround to be successful."

LIQUIDITY

         At March 31, 2006, the company had $3.4 billion in cash and cash
equivalents, of which $2.4 billion was unrestricted. Capital expenditures for
the quarter were $92 million. At March 31, 2006, Delta was in compliance with
all of the financial covenants in its post-petition financing arrangements.

         During the March 2006 quarter, Delta received approval from the lenders
of its $1.9 billion debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit facility to amend and
restate that facility. The revised credit facility reduced Delta's interest rate
on the three term loans making up the facility, resulting in annual interest
savings of more than $30 million. Delta also reduced the interest rate for its
post-petition financing from American Express Travel Related Services Company,
Inc.

         Also during the March 2006 quarter, Delta completed a letter of credit
facility with Merrill Lynch that allows the company to utilize up to $300
million in cash that would normally be held in reserve by Delta's
Visa/MasterCard processor.

REORGANIZATION AND SPECIAL ITEMS(5)

         In the first quarter of 2006, Delta recorded $1.7 billion in non-cash
charges for reorganization items and accounting adjustments. These items are:

         o        a $1.4 billion charge for reorganization items, primarily
                  reflecting estimated pre-petition bankruptcy claims for the
                  restructuring of financing arrangements for 124 mainline
                  aircraft.

         o        a $310 million net charge for three accounting adjustments:

                  -        A $112 million charge in landing fees and other
                           rents, resulting from historical differences
                           primarily associated with recording rent expense at
                           Delta's JFK facility based on actual rent payments
                           instead of on a straight-line basis over the lease
                           term.

                  -        A $108 million net charge related to the sale of
                           mileage credits under the SkyMiles(R) frequent flyer
                           program, which is comprised of an $83 million
                           decrease in passenger revenues, a $106 million
                           decrease in other, net operating revenues, and an $81
                           million decrease in other operating expenses.

                  -        A $90 million charge in salaries and related costs to
                           adjust an accrual for postemployment healthcare
                           benefits.

         In the first quarter of 2005, Delta recorded $387 million in charges
for special items, including (1) a $453 million charge related to employee
initiatives under Delta's 2004 Transformation Plan, (2) a $68 million charge
related to the company's defined benefit pension plan for pilots, and (3) a $10
million charge related to aircraft retirements. These charges were offset by a
$144 million benefit from a reduction in Delta's required deferred income tax
asset reserve.

ENDNOTES

- --------------------
(1) Note 1 to the attached Consolidated Statements of Operations shows a
reconciliation of Delta's net loss reported under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) to the net loss excluding
reorganization and special items, as well as reconciliations of other financial
measures including and excluding reorganization and special items. Delta
excludes reorganization and special items because the exclusion of these items
is helpful to investors to evaluate the company's recurring operational
performance. The special items for the first quarter of 2006 relate to
accounting adjustments, which are described in this press release.

(2) Reorganization items refers to revenues, expenses, gains or losses that are
realized or incurred by us that are due to our reorganization under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with GAAP, these items are required
to be separately classified in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(3) Includes the impact of fuel price increases reflected in both fuel expense
and contract carrier arrangements in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(4) Delta presents mainline unit costs excluding fuel expense and special items
because management believes (a) high fuel prices during the March 2006 quarter
mask the progress the Company achieved toward its business plan targets and (b)
the exclusion of the special items is helpful to investors to evaluate the
Company's recurring operational performance.

(5) Delta believes that the three accounting adjustments recorded in the first
quarter of 2006, considered individually and in the aggregate, are not material
to its Consolidated Financial Statements for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2005 and will not be material to its Consolidated
Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. Additional
detail on reorganization and special items recorded in the first quarter of 2006
will be available in Delta's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, to
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Statements in this news release that are not historical facts,
including statements regarding our estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions,
projections or strategies for the future, may be "forward-looking statements" as
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates,
expectations, beliefs, intentions, projections and strategies reflected in or
suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, the actions and decisions of our creditors and
other third parties with interests in our Chapter 11 proceedings; our ability to
obtain court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 proceedings
prosecuted from time to time; our ability to develop, prosecute, confirm and
consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11
proceedings and to consummate all of the transactions contemplated by one or
more such plans of reorganization or upon which consummation of such plans may
be conditioned; risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court
approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for us to propose and
confirm one or more plans of reorganization, to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee or
to convert the cases to Chapter 7 cases; our ability to obtain and maintain
normal terms with vendors and service providers; our ability to maintain
contracts that are critical to our operations; our ability to maintain adequate
liquidity to fund and execute our business plan during the Chapter 11
proceedings and in the context of a plan of reorganization and thereafter; our
ability to comply with financial covenants in our financing agreements; labor
issues, including our ability to reduce our pilot labor costs to the level
called for by our business plan and possible strikes or job actions by unionized
employees; our ability to implement our business plan successfully; the cost of
aircraft fuel; pension plan funding obligations; interruptions or disruptions in
service at one of our hub airports; our increasing dependence on technology in
our operations; our ability to retain management and key employees;
restructurings by competitors; the effects of terrorist attacks; 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
Form 10-K, filed on March 27, 2006.

         The risks and uncertainties and the terms of any reorganization plan
ultimately confirmed can affect the value of our various pre-petition
liabilities, common stock and/or other securities. No assurance can be given as
to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each
of these liabilities or securities.

         We believe that our currently outstanding common stock will have no
value and will be canceled under any plan of reorganization we propose, and that
the value of our various pre-petition liabilities and other securities is highly
speculative. Accordingly, we urge that caution be exercised with respect to
existing and future investments in any of these liabilities and/or securities.
Investors and other interested parties can obtain information about Delta's
Chapter 11 filing on the Internet at delta.com/restructure. Court filings and
claims information are available at deltadocket.com. Caution should be taken not
to place undue reliance on Delta's forward-looking statements, which represent
Delta's views only as of May 11, 2006, and which Delta has no current intention
to update.
