Delta Air Lines has announced a new initiative to plant 1,000 trees in Los Angeles as part of the countdown to the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The effort is being launched in partnership with TreePeople, a local environmental organization, and aims to complete the tree planting ahead of the opening ceremonies in 2028.
The announcement comes as Los Angeles marks 1,000 days until it hosts the Olympic Games for the third time and the Paralympic Games for the first time. Delta, which serves as both the Official Airline of Team USA and an inaugural Founding Partner of LA28, held a celebratory event with TreePeople to begin this project. The event included participation from more than 50 Delta employees, community members, LA leaders, and Olympian Brenda Villa.
“As we count down to the LA28 Games, Delta’s 4,500 Los Angeles–based employees are getting ready to welcome the world to our city,” said Scott Santoro, Delta’s Vice President of Los Angeles and West Coast Sales. “Los Angeles isn’t just a destination on our route map—it’s home, and on the road to LA28, we’re proud to continue efforts to showcase a city that’s not only a global gateway, but a community we’re committed to strengthening for years to come.”
