For the third year in a row, Delta has been named the Best Airline in North America at the Skytrax World Airline Awards. Delta also earned the top spot for Best Airline Staff Service in North America for the second consecutive year.

“At Delta, we take great pride in our products, our global network, and our world-class service,” said Joseph Young, Delta’s GM of EMEAI from the award ceremony at the Paris Air Show. “But at the end of the day, it’s our people that set us apart. I’m honored to accept these awards on behalf of our 90,000 Delta employees around the globe.”
