Delta Air Lines has launched its first-ever Route Race, allowing SkyMiles Members and Delta employees to vote on the airline’s next European destination for summer 2026. Voting opened on August 25 and will continue through August 29. The initiative gives customers and staff a direct role in shaping the carrier’s future network.
Delta currently serves more than 300 destinations worldwide and recently operated its largest transatlantic schedule to date, which included its inaugural nonstop flight to Sicily. The new campaign offers participants a choice among three Mediterranean destinations: Malta, Ibiza (Spain), or Sardinia (Italy).
“SkyMiles Members and Delta people are at the center of everything Delta does. The Route Race is a celebration of their influence, giving our community a voice in where they want to fly next and inviting them to help shape Delta’s global network,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning. “The destinations where Delta flies are more than just dots on a map – they’re gateways to culture, connection and possibility, and this is a chance for our Members and employees to bring one of them closer.”
