Delta Air Lines recently hosted its annual DREAM Flight, an initiative aimed at inspiring future aviators by exposing them to the aviation industry. This year's flight carried Black students to the Pensacola Naval Base, where they learned about Naval aviation and witnessed a demonstration by the Blue Angels.

First Officer Kyle Foley, who participated in Delta's first DREAM Flight as a 12-year-old, expressed the significance of this program. "Being able to take what everyone poured into me as a student on the DREAM Flight, to now being a Delta pilot and carrying the torch forward is a full circle moment," said Foley. He emphasized that introducing students to aviation careers is the core purpose of these flights.

The DREAM Flight underscores Delta's commitment to diversity and inclusion within the aviation sector. The program is organized in collaboration with OBAP (Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals). Kurt Ford, Managing Director of Flight Operations at Delta, highlighted the cultural importance of giving back: "It is part of our culture to give back, and this allows kids to see their future in a way that they may not have had the opportunity to see it before."

Students from five Atlanta schools were invited this year, including Carver High School and Elite Scholars Academy. Volunteers engaged with students throughout the event, sharing personal experiences from their careers at Delta.

Since its inception, more than 4,000 young individuals have benefited from Delta's partnership with OBAP through immersive learning opportunities designed to spark interest in aviation careers while providing mentorship.
