Business Travel News performs an annual survey asking corporate travel professionals to rate airlines across many categories.

Delta is also investing more than $12B in airports, smoothing out the journey from curb to claim. The airline added dedicated Delta One check-ins and lounges at JFK and LAX and almost 2,700 seats to its Delta lounges from 2023 to 2024. 

Delta aims to bring free and fast Wi-Fi to every flight, with 700 aircraft already offering reliable service. The airline plans to add Wi-Fi to its entire fleet. In addition, it offers 165,000+ seatback screens — more than any other U.S.-based carrier. 

Steve Sear, E.V.P., Global Sales and Distribution, commented: “This is another record win, but we are never satisfied with the status quo. We keep climbing. Our approach has always been to listen to feedback from our corporate and travel agency partners, act quickly, and listen again to continue to improve for them. But we remain on top because we have the right – and most importantly, resilient – teams in place to get the job done. We are 100,000 employees strong working towards one common purpose – providing a safe, reliable and holistic travel experience for every single one of our customers.”

The airport made the announcement after the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Board of Directors approved a contract for Delta to be the anchor tenant for “Airside D”.  It’s the airport’s first new Airside in almost 20 years, with a scheduled opening in 2028.

Airside D will be a thoroughly modern structure, with two levels plus a mezzanine, two airport lounges, shopping and dining, a shuttle system, and more. Once ready, it’ll help TPA serve up to 35 million passengers per year by 2037. Delta’s flown out of TPA for over 65 years, making it the airport’s longest-tenured airline. It also has the largest network at the airport, connecting to 13 destinations, with a median of 36 daily flights in 2024. In the past decade, that’s equated to 33 million domestic passengers and 1 million international passengers for Delta and its partners. At the moment, the airline flies via six gates in Airside E, where it also has a Sky Club.
