Contact Tracing
Nothing is more important to Delta and our partner airlines across the globe than the health and safety of our customers and employees. In accordance with an order issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all travelers entering the United States, including U.S. citizens and residents, must provide their contact information while in the U.S. Customers can provide this information at check-in or through Delta FlyReady. Find out more about how Delta is sharing information with our partners at the CDC via U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Contact tracing is a process to identify and alert those who may have been in close contact with someone who has contracted a contagious disease, to help reduce exposure and transmission. Contact information is mandatory for all travelers entering the U.S., including U.S. citizens and residents.
You will be asked to provide your address while in the U.S. and a phone number. This information, in addition to contact information you provided during ticket purchase or at check-in, will be shared with the CDC via U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Delta and our global partners are working diligently with our respective government agencies, health officials and aviation authorities to offer safer travel at every point in your journey.
The CDC requires contact tracing for anyone traveling to the U.S. as their final destination or connecting through, including U.S. citizens and residents.
For other international travel, you and those in your itinerary can voluntarily participate if you are traveling on a Delta operated flight or flying on a global partner airline ticket with a Delta operated segment.
To support contact tracing, Delta is asking travelers to provide their destination address while in the U.S. and a phone number. This information, in addition to contact information you provided during ticket purchase or at check-in, will be shared with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) via U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) utilizing established channels for the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS). We will retain this information in our systems for no longer than is necessary to achieve the contact tracing objectives, or as required by CBP.
