Delta Air Lines was named “North America’s Leading Business Class Airline” and for the second consecutive year, “North America’s Leading Budget Airline” for its former Song service, by travel professionals worldwide at the 13th Annual World Travel Awards in Turks and Caicos.

The World Travel Awards was conceived in 1993 to acknowledge and celebrate excellence in the world’s travel and tourism industry.  Now in its 12th year, travel professionals and discerning travelers have come to regard the World Travel Awards as the very best endorsement that a travel product could hope to receive.  Candidates for nomination for the World Travel Awards are based upon the previous year's voting. Voting is cast by travel agents in over 200 countries around the world.

“Delta is honored to be recognized by World Travel Awards and travel professionals worldwide for providing exceptional service and distinctive amenities both in business class and with our former Song service which inspired our new transcontinental product launch,” said Joanne Smith, Delta’s vice president of Marketing.  “We continue to work hard to create a superior experience that is personalized, comfortable and entertaining for our customers and one that truly differentiates Delta from other airlines.”
