Delta Air Lines has been recognized as the top airline by JUST Capital and CNBC in their annual JUST 100 ranking. The list evaluates companies based on several criteria, including fair wages, worker well-being, career advancement, transparency, community engagement, ethical leadership, and customer treatment.

Delta stood out as the only airline on the list due to its investment in employees, customer service quality, and efforts to reduce environmental impact. This accolade coincides with Delta's Centennial celebration of aviation achievements driven by its workforce.
