                               RESOLUTION


 
            Commemorating the centennial of Delta Air Lines.

Whereas, on March 2, 2025, Delta Air Lines turns 100 years old, becoming the 
        first United States airline to reach the centenarian milestone;
Whereas Delta Air Lines was founded on March 2, 1925, as Huff Daland Dusters--
        the world's first aerial crop-dusting company;
Whereas Delta Air Service and the airline's first flights took off 4 years 
        later;
Whereas, in 2025, Delta Air Lines's team of 100,000 people supports up to 5,000 
        daily flights serving more than 200,000,000 travelers per year;
Whereas Delta Air Lines maintains hubs from coast to coast, including in 
        Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, California, Michigan, 
        Minnesota, and Utah;
Whereas, with thousands of peak-day departures to more than 290 global 
        destinations on 6 continents, Delta Air Lines connects millions of 
        people around the globe to and through the United States daily and helps 
        keep the United States a top country for business and the economy of the 
        United States strong;
Whereas, for the past 100 years, the mission of Delta Air Lines to connect the 
        world has included a commitment to being a strong partner in the 
        communities where its people live, work, and serve; and
Whereas, in 2025, Delta was named North America's most on-time airline by 
        Cirium, the Top United States Airline by the Wall Street Journal, the 
        World's Most Admired Airline by Fortune, and the top-ranked airline on 
        Time's inaugural World's Best Companies List: Now, therefore be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes Delta Air Lines for 100 years of connecting 
        people to the world and to each other; and
            (2) commemorates the centennial of Delta Air Lines.
