Delta's new logo first of many changes for carrier

Delta Airlines unveiled its new corporate logo at the carrier’s coming out party in Atlanta, as rank and file gathered to celebrate the end of Chapter 11.

The tri-colored red, blue and burgundy chevron will decorate the tail section of nearly 1,000 Delta planes world wide.

And, that’s just the beginning of a number of changes for the nation’s third largest carrier.

As Delta re-tools its fleet to serve a burgeoning international market, Delta CEO Jerry Grinstein says while tough times are behind them, the real work lies ahead.

“Our costs are low. We’re heading towards forty-five percent in the international market and we’ve shrunk some of our domestic service, but we’re still in those markets. You’re gonna have the ups and downs but right now, Delta’s performing very well against all competition, foreign and domestic.”

Grinstein is expected to step down later this year.

In the meantime, the company has shifted into hiring mode, as pilots and flight attendants are re-called to service points overseas.
