For the seventh year, Delta’s culture speaks for itself — earning us a place on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list and carrying us up to No. 9 this year. Among the 100 companies honored, Delta is the only commercial airline to make the list.
“Being recognized among the top 10 best companies to work for demonstrates the power of our people-first culture,” Ed said. “Delta is a place where people can grow, innovate and do their best work thanks to our culture of care, trust and servant leadership.”
What sets Delta apart
Our people drive our success, which is why when Delta does well, they share that reward. From paying out more profit sharing than our competitors combined to another pay raise coming in 2026, we believe that investing in employees is investing in the continued success of Delta. We also offer unique benefits like free and reduced travel and emotional, physical and financial wellness programs that help our people and their families thrive at every stage of life. And our “keep climbing” approach to continually improving means employee feedback shapes our decisions.
Reinforcing Delta as America’s most awarded airline
This comes on the heels of other awards for our people, including
- One of Glassdoor’s 2026 top 100 Best Places to Work
- No. 11 on Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies list
- One of the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women
- No. 3 on the 2025 PEOPLE Companies That Care List
Behind the ranking
