The incident came nearly two months after a fatal collision at the same airport between an airliner and an Army helicopter The latest incident, Friday afternoon, occurred while four U.S. Air Force T-38 Talons were en route to Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia for a flyover, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. A T-38 Talon is a two-seat supersonic jet used to train pilots, according to the Air Force. took off from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport an alert sounded off inside the cockpit of the passenger plane indicating that another aircraft was nearby air traffic controllers issued "corrective instructions" to both aircraft The FAA said it will be investigating the incident Delta said its flight crew properly followed instructions from the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) The airline said it will cooperate with regulators to review the incident "Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people," Delta said in a statement The Air Force did not immediately respond to a request for comment The incident comes nearly two months after an American Airlines jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided outside of DCA airport, killing 67 people. In response, the FAA announced it would drastically limit helicopter flights near the airport Earlier this month, at a news conference, National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Jennifer Homendy called the flight patterns around DCA "an intolerable risk," pointing to how helicopters and commercial planes operate in short distances to each other within an already busy airspace The NTSB's preliminary report on the deadly crash found that there were more than 15,000 occurrences of close calls between commercial planes and helicopters or when two aircraft were separated less than 6,100 feet laterally and less than 400 feet vertically there were 85 recorded incidents where they were apart by less than 1,500 feet laterally and less than 200 feet vertically Tracking data from FlightRadar24 on Friday showed that there was a brief moment when both the Delta plane and military aircraft were flying above the same area of the Potomac River near Alexandria's Potomac Yard three flight attendants and 131 passengers were on the Delta Airbus A319 According to CNN which first reported the incident and cited LiveATC.net one of the Delta pilots asked air traffic controllers on Friday "On that departure … was there an actual aircraft about 500 ft below us as we came off of DCA?" Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said the incident was "unbelievably dangerous," adding that she plans to reach out to the Pentagon "My first call to Department of Defense tomorrow: why are your planes flying 500 feet below passenger jets full of Minnesotans headed from DCA to my state," she wrote on X Become an NPR sponsor Solid March quarter revenue and strong cost performance drove profitability in line with last year Guiding to June quarter operating margin of 11 percent to 14 percent and EPS of $1.70 to $2.30 Reducing planned capacity growth in the second half to flat year on year ATLANTA, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today reported financial results for the March quarter and provided its outlook for the June quarter.  Highlights of the March quarter "While the first quarter unfolded differently than initially expected we delivered solid profitability that was flat to prior year and is expected to lead the industry.  I would like to thank our people for their outstanding performance and hard work during the quarter," said Ed Bastian "With broad economic uncertainty around global trade growth has largely stalled.  In this slower-growth environment we are protecting margins and cash flow by focusing on what we can control.  This includes reducing planned capacity growth in the second half of the year to flat over last year while actively managing costs and capital expenditures." "We expect June quarter profitability of $1.5 to $2 billion.  Given the lack of economic clarity it is premature at this time to provide an updated full-year outlook.  Given our position of strength our bias toward action and the decline in fuel prices Delta remains well positioned to deliver solid profitability and free cash flow for the year.  I expect that our financial results will continue to lead the industry and validate our strategy to create differentiation and greater financial durability." March Quarter 2025 Non-GAAP Financial Results 1Non-GAAP measures; Refer to Non-GAAP reconciliations for historical comparison figures Delta is not reaffirming full year 2025 financial guidance and will provide an update later in the year as visibility improves consistent with revised guidance.  Through the quarter high-margin revenue streams showed resilience improving over prior year and approaching 60 percent of total revenue," said Glen Hauenstein we expect June quarter total revenue to be down 2 percent to up 2 percent over prior year loyalty and international partially offsetting Domestic and main cabin softness.  2025 is playing out differently than we expected at the start of the year.  As a result we are adapting to current conditions while staying true to our long-term strategy." *Corporate travel sales represent the revenue from tickets sold to corporate contracted customers including tickets for travel during and beyond the referenced time period "Our teams ran a strong operation despite challenging weather at the start of the year enabling us to drive efficiency and deliver non-fuel unit cost growth of up 2.6 percent over prior year.  This was better than our initial expectation and a sequential improvement from the end of 2024," said Dan Janki Delta's chief financial officer.  "As we reduce capacity growth we are taking incremental action to manage costs.  We expect non-fuel unit cost growth consistent with our long-term target of up low-single digits in the second quarter and through the rest of the year." "Delta's decade-plus commitment to our consistent strategy investment and execution has created a differentiated and durable business that positions us to navigate periods of uncertainty," Janki said.  "We ended the first quarter with gross leverage of 2.6x and expect to repay at least $3 billion of debt this year as we continue to strengthen our investment grade balance sheet.  During the quarter we achieved our highest credit rating in decades following an upgrade from Moody's reflecting our continued focus on debt reduction as we progress towards our long-term gross leverage target

following tables show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures The reasons Delta uses these measures are described below Reconciliations may not calculate exactly due to rounding.  Delta sometimes uses information ("non-GAAP financial measures") that is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements but that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results The tables below show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures Delta is not able to reconcile forward looking non-GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort because the adjusting items such as those used in the reconciliations below will not be known until the end of the period and could be significant Adjustments. These reconciliations include certain adjustments to GAAP measures that are made to provide comparability between the reported periods Excluding these sales therefore provides a more meaningful comparison of our airline operations to the rest of the airline industry MTM adjustments on investments. Mark-to-market ("MTM") adjustments are defined as fair value changes recorded in periods other than the settlement period Unrealized gains/losses result from our equity investments that are accounted for at fair value in non-operating expense The gains/losses are driven by changes in stock prices foreign currency fluctuations and other valuation techniques for investments in certain companies particularly those without publicly-traded shares Adjusting for these gains/losses allows investors to better understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown MTM fair value changes are not necessarily indicative of the actual settlement value of the underlying hedge in the contract settlement period and therefore we remove this impact to allow investors to better understand and analyze our core performance Settlements represent cash received or paid on hedge contracts settled during the applicable period This adjustment relates to early termination of a portion of our debt Adjusting

towers at the southwest corner of 84th Avenue and 112th Street Today (Monday, May 5), council will receive a staff report outlining a rezoning application from Westcorp Holdings Ltd to redevelop the 1.3-hectare Nordel Centre The "Nordel Village" application proposes replacing the ground-level strip mall diagonally across the street from North Delta's George Mackie Library with a mixed-use high-rise project featuring a 24-storey tower with a six-storey podium along the northwest edge of the property; a 14-storey tower at the northeast corner and a 24-storey tower both integrated into the same eight-storey podium; and a six-storey building along the southern edge of the site The project includes approximately 865 residential strata units over 4,000 square metres (43,056 square feet) of commercial floor area, a 264-square-metre (2,842-square-foot) privately owned and operated childcare facility and 1,034 parking spaces — 24 angled spaces at grade along the internal road between the buildings and 1,010 in two levels of underground parking The site will have to be rezoned as a new Comprehensive Development Zone from it's current designation of Core Commercial, however Westcorp Holding's application is consistent with the Delta's Official Community Plan, which designates the area around 84th and 112th as one of three new urban centres allowing residential and mixed-use developments up to six storeys with “limited opportunities for up to 24 storeys where a significant community contribution is provided.” As part of that community contribution the owner is proposing to providing support to existing businesses in Nordel Centre including a phased development plan to allow some businesses to remain open during construction of the first phase business support to help businesses maintain and grow their revenues during the development process and right of first refusal for select businesses to relocate to the new development at below-market rates Westcorp Holdings is also proposing a cash contribution of $1,568,000 toward community benefits equivalent to approximately $1,800 per unit or to provide 20 market rental units for ten years (equal to just over 2.3 per cent of the total number of units) Staff's report to council notes the required contribution for buildings six storeys or less under the city's Parks Recreation and Culture Amenity Contributions Policy is $1,000 per unit the applicant is including the proposed childcare facility and a pair of public plazas — one 111 square metres (1,200 square feet) at the corner of 84th and 112th the other 372 square metres (4,000 square feet) in the centre of the site — as part of its community contribution package Westcorp Holdings has also requested that the city consider the support they provided to the Guru Nanak Food Bank as a community contribution noting that for the past three years the owner has provided the organization with a 557-square-metre (5,996-square-foot)

area Council has yet give that project final reading Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) announced that it has begun the much-anticipated multi-phase process to transform Delta Center into a state-of-the-art dual-sport venue and anchor Utah’s NBA and NHL franchises in downtown Salt Lake City The transformation includes the implementation of a revolutionary seating system that maintains close-to-the-action seating for Jazz fans and affords full views from every lower bowl seat for NHL games – preserving Delta Center’s famous game-night atmosphere while bolstering its reputation as the premier destination for concerts and entertainment in the region the building itself will debut a new main entrance and outdoor plaza that provides a vibrant experience for ticket holders and downtown visitors alike Renovations are underway to transform Delta Center into a state-of-the-art Delta Center was originally built in 1991 as the home of the Utah Jazz underwent a significant top-to-bottom renovation in 2017 and was modified again in 2024 to accommodate Utah’s new NHL team The multi-year transformation that begins now will be the arena’s most extensive and innovative inside-out effort yet centered on changing the geometry of the arena bowl to optimize hockey sightlines and enhance the overall experience “Adding an ice rink inside an existing basketball arena is an unthinkable feat given that an ice rink is nearly double the size of a basketball court We are excited for the challenge as we kick off this never-before-done renovation project This transformation will create the most compelling while also allowing us to maintain the steep vertical seating for basketball that has made Delta Center such a dynamic venue with its loud atmosphere that energizes our players night after night,” said Ryan and Ashley Smith co-founders of Smith Entertainment Group and owners of Delta Center “By taking such significant steps to transform Delta Center into a world-class facility for both professional basketball and hockey the Jazz and Utah’s NHL team will become anchors of downtown Salt Lake City for decades to come And fans will be further immersed in the game night experience both inside and outside the arena as we work to reimagine the downtown experience of Utah’s capital city We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the 2025-26 seasons.” Implementing an Innovative Riser System in the Lower Bowl While most arenas that host basketball and hockey are designed to be hockey-first – which puts greater distance between basketball fans and the court – SEG is doing something that has never been done before in a dual-use basketball and hockey arena by creating the first-and-only retractable seating system that accommodates a nearly 12-foot variance in elevation between rink and court endlines to offer optimal sightlines for both the NBA and NHL The innovative new system will keep the incredible viewing experience for Jazz fans that they have come to love while optimizing sightlines for NHL fans with every seat in the lower bowl set to have a complete view of the ice at the start of the 2025-26 season The new hockey configuration also adds capacity behind the goals and above and around the event tunnels on the north and south side of the lower bowl and improves access to seating behind the boards the riser system will consist of 29 rows of retractable seats that extend over 28 feet from the Level 3 concourse down to the court behind each baseline – all designed to ensure the arena maintains its steep slope that will continue to put Jazz fans in incredibly close proximity to the court seating capacity for hockey will increase from 11,131 to approximately 17,000 – with every seat in the upper and lower bowls having full views of both goals – and capacity for basketball will increase from 18,206 to nearly 19,000 seats SEG contracted with Michigan-based StageRight for this unique and innovative retractable seating system To make room for the new riser system and the installation of a new ice floor slab SEG is lengthening the arena bowl by approximately 12 feet at each end and raising the floor two feet These changes will improve sightlines along the sidelines and set the stage for future upper bowl renovations Several other modifications taking place in 2025 are aimed at updating building infrastructure and creating new opportunities for entertainment In addition to new premium spaces on Level 1 the restroom capacity at Delta Center will increase by 12% and four new dehumidifiers will be installed to maintain excellent ice conditions in the arena at all times SEG will also begin to construct a 450-stall parking structure that will be completed in a future phase of construction Major interior and exterior construction will continue during future NBA and NHL offseasons Plans include adding an east-facing main entrance and plaza that will serve as a gateway to the heart of downtown; redesigning the existing plaza and concourses; and remodeling upper bowl seating to improve sightlines SEG made initial updates to Delta Center in Summer 2024 These included adding a new home NHL locker room and team workout and treatment facilities new visiting team locker rooms for the NBA and NHL additional spaces for coaches and rooms for league officials and a tunnel pathway adjacent to home and away team locker rooms that provide access to their respective benches The Utah Jazz locker room was also redesigned a new lighting system was installed to add vibrancy and enhance views for hockey and broadcast platforms were expanded to make room for hockey cameras The flagship Team Store located inside the main entrance nearly doubled in size and several courtside suites were renovated The onset of Delta Center renovations also marks the official beginning of a large-scale effort to reimagine downtown Salt Lake City through the creation of a world-class sports The multi-block development will reconnect the east and west sides of the city’s downtown core from Delta Center to the Salt Palace Convention Center The new development is anticipated to increase visitation and family-friendly year-round downtown experience for decades to come SEG brought on three world-renowned groups to help drive the Delta Center transformation project: Utah-based Okland

More USA livery for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (Photo by Ed JONES / AFP) (Photo by ED JONES/AFP via Getty Images) Delta Air Lines will take delivery of a new Airbus A350 aircraft this week and avoid tariff costs by flying it from the factory in Toulouse to Tokyo The new aircraft, tail number N528DN is scheduled to operate flight DAL 9936 on Wednesday departing Toulouse at 11:10 am CEST and arriving in Tokyo on Thursday The aircraft’s next destination is still unknown until it no longer qualifies as a new aircraft that would incur import tariffs Delta used this international aircraft launch strategy to avoid tariffs imposed during President Donald Trump’s first term in office During the airline’s recent earnings call Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said addressed the cost impacts of tariffs on the airline’s fleet in a press statement which is the only aircraft manufacturer we’ve got deliveries coming from for the balance of this year and we’ll do our very best to minimize tariffs but we are very clear that we won’t be paying tariffs on any aircraft deliveries we take and if you start to put a 20% incremental cost on top of an aircraft it gets very difficult to make that math work and we'll work through and see what happens from that.” The airline currently operates a fleet of 36 Airbus A350-900s It also has an order for 20 Airbus A350-1000s scheduled for delivery next year with options for 20 more The list price for Airbus A350-900 aircraft is $308 million and A350-1000s list for $355 million and I think we’ll be looking at Canada and Mexico as places that we probably want to reduce our capacity levels as we move forward,” he said Bastian stated during the earnings call that tariffs have effected the airline’s corporate travel customers “There's about a 10-point velocity rate change from where we were at the beginning of the year to where we are now which is flat,” Bastian said during the call “And I think a lot of companies are trying to figure out what the future is If we continue on in this elongated sense of uncertainty you'll see continued reductions in corporate travel But I think it's premature to project too far ahead at this time.” “Our government affairs team is hard at work on it to make the case as to why there should be a carve-out,” American Airlines CFO Devon May told Reuters “It’s really difficult for us to wrap our heads around paying tariffs on those airplanes,” May added “It just doesn't make economic sense.” Sign up for our daily Newsletter and stay up to date with all the latest news You are receiving this pop-up because this is the first time you are visiting our site You are using software which is blocking our advertisements (adblocker) we are relying on revenues from our banners So please disable your adblocker and reload the page to continue using this site.Thanks At the AIPH Spring Meeting 2025 in Chiang Rai members officially welcomed Dutch Greenhouse Delta (DGD) as a new Affiliate Member This signals closer global collaboration for professional growers with one of the Netherlands' most dynamic and coordinated efforts to promote high-tech horticulture internationally "We are very pleased to welcome Dutch Greenhouse Delta as an Affiliate Member of AIPH," said AIPH Secretary General Tim Briercliffe "Their collaborative approach to sustainable horticultural development and commitment to knowledge sharing reflect the values we promote across our global network Their strong connections within the Dutch horticultural ecosystem and a clear international outlook will make them a valuable contributor to the AIPH community."

Over the weekend, the airline added seven new point-to-point routes to Orlando that don't touch any of the carrier's hubs Delta doesn't usually offer one-off flights from nonhub airports but demand to Orlando is seemingly strong enough to support some of those one-off flights Delta can poach some traffic from two wounded competitors — Spirit Airlines and Southwest Airlines — both of which are undergoing major commercial transformations that are sure to rankle some frequent flyers.) This latest expansion spree from Delta seems to be aimed at doubling down on its position from key hubs Delta is already the largest carrier at both JFK and LGA and this expansion is poised to keep it firmly in first place As such, the airline is seemingly trying to do as much as it can to woo locals to choose it over the competition. That's great news for flyers, as it will give them more choices — and hopefully lower fares — in many markets. Fingers crossed that Delta SkyMiles redemption rates aren't sky-high, though.
