Delta Air Lines has announced that its employees will receive $1.4 billion as part of the airline's profit-sharing initiative for 2024. This payout coincides with Delta's centennial anniversary and highlights the company's appreciation for its workforce.

On February 14, known as Profit Sharing Day, eligible Delta employees will receive a payout estimated at 10% of their eligible earnings, translating to an average of five weeks' additional pay. CEO Ed Bastian stated, "Every day, Delta people prove themselves to be difference makers in this industry. I’m proud to recognize their unmatched professionalism, teamwork and dedication to excellence with one of our strongest profit sharing years in Delta’s history."

Profit sharing is a fundamental aspect of Delta's values and is considered a crucial component of its commitment to providing industry-leading total compensation for exceptional performance. Over the past decade, Delta has distributed more than $10 billion in profit sharing among its employees.
