Friday October 31, 2:30 pm ET


CINCINNATI, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -. Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL -
News) today announced a major expansion of its international service from
the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
At a news conference celebrating the inaugural flight of Delta's service to
Honolulu, Hawaii, Vicki Escarra, Delta's executive vice president and chief
marketing officer, announced that Delta will introduce Cincinnati's first
nonstop service to the Netherlands, and reintroduce nonstop service to
Italy, on May 1, 2004.

The new flights will feature Boeing 767-300 aircraft, offering Delta's
award-winning BusinessElite service with seats in a 2x2x2 configuration and
60 inches of pitch.

"Amsterdam is one of the largest European destinations not already served
nonstop by Delta from our Cincinnati hub," said Escarra. "This flight
connects two of the most convenient airports in the world - Cincinnati and
Schiphol.

"The community's support of our seasonal service to Rome during the summer
of 2002 was tremendous," said Escarra. "It's because of that support we are
now able to reintroduce and extend this service."

Delta's SkyTeam partner, Alitalia, will offer codeshare service on the new
Rome flight. Additionally, customers will be able to take advantage of
Alitalia's extensive network at Rome, where the airline operates 216 daily
departures and serves 58 nonstop destinations in Europe, Africa and the
Middle East.

"Delta looks forward to partnering once again with the Cincinnati/Northern
Kentucky community in making these new services a success, and further
developing more domestic and international service from our Cincinnati hub,"
said Escarra.

Delta and its partners already offer Cincinnati customers nonstop service to
six international destinations, including Frankfurt, London, Montreal,
Nassau, Paris and Toronto.
