Enhancements Offer Customers More Options and More Flexibility

CINCINNATI June 13, 2006 - Delta AirElite announced today new customer options which further enhance its innovative Fleet Membership jet card program.  By offering customers more options in terms of pricing and aircraft types, Fleet Membership continues to be the most affordable and flexible jet card program available.

Customers simply choose the number of hours they wish to fly (10, 25, or 50 occupied hours) in either the light, midsize, or large cabin category of aircraft.  Members also have the option to choose from Delta AirElites Membership Fleet or Premier Fleet. The Membership Fleet features a wide range of meticulously maintained jets that combine luxury and value. The Premier Fleet guarantees members access to only the latest model aircraft. These enhancements offer customers the ultimate choice and the simplest way to enjoy private jet travel.

“Since introducing Fleet Membership in February 2003, we have continued to expand the program and add enhancements that allow us to offer our customers the best possible product to meet their travel needs,” said Michael B. Green, President and CEO. “As the first private jet operator to offer a national jet card program, Im pleased to note that ours continues to be one of the simplest, yet most comprehensive, in the industry.”

Regardless of the fleet selection a customer chooses, they will receive all the benefits of Fleet Membership. These benefits include the ability to add hours or change aircraft as needed, instant Medallion® status in the Delta Air SkyMiles® program, free flight time on round-trip travel through the Efficiency Bonus™, and the peace of mind that their investment is secured through the Member Balance Assurance program. In addition, members pay only for the time they fly and program hours never expire.
