“We’ve never wavered in our commitment to deliver a seamless and enjoyable experience for our customers – whether you’re flying for the first time ever with Delta, or you’re a Diamond Medallion member,” said Allison Ausband, E.V.P. and Chief Customer Experience Officer. “These awards come from customers who trust us to provide them with an experience and a loyalty program that they can’t find anywhere else, and we couldn’t be more grateful to every individual and employee who helps contribute to and create the Delta Difference every day.”

BUSINESS TRAVELLER U.K.

Voted for by readers of Business Traveller magazine, the awards have evolved this year to reflect the change in travel climate. Readers were asked to consider their travel experiences both before and during the pandemic, taking into account criteria including covid safety measures, loyalty programs, efficiency of re-bookings and cancellations and effective communications.

This the fourth year running that Delta has been named Best North American Airline in the U.K.; Delta also triumphed at the APAC awards in 2020, 2017 and 2016.
