Bill > SR252

This resolution recognizes and commends Delta Air Lines on its upcoming 100th anniversary, highlighting the airline's significant history and contributions to Georgia and the United States. Founded on March 2, 1925, as Huff Daland Dusters (initially a crop-dusting company), Delta began passenger flights four years later and established its headquarters in Atlanta in 1941. The resolution emphasizes Delta's current scale and importance, noting that the airline now operates over 4,000 daily flights with 100,000 employees, employs 36,000 Georgians, and connects multiple Georgia cities to global destinations. The resolution particularly praises Delta's economic contributions to Georgia, its global connectivity, and its commitment to developing aviation professionals through partnerships with educational institutions from K-12 to the state's university and technical college systems. The Senate officially recognizes Delta Air Lines' century of excellence, innovation, and service, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
