Delta’s Philosophy

Delta Air Lines recognizes the critical role of small, minority, and women-owned businesses in the overall strength of the U.S. economy and ultimately to Delta stakeholders. To maximize returns to Delta customers, shareholders, employees, and the communities in which we operate, Delta seeks to utilize the products and services of qualified small, minority, and women-owned businesses.

Delta’s Commitment

We are committed to proactively identifying and building relationships with high quality small, minority, and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE's) and we encourage our 1st tier suppliers to do the same. Our mission is to deliver value by developing partnerships with qualified diverse suppliers. The key element of success lies in our ability to establish relationships with diverse suppliers that can provide quality products and services in a competitive and global environment
