passu, or equal, in right of payment with our other unsubordinated indebtedness.

Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control Triggering
If we experience a change of control and a ratings decline to a rating below investment grade
Event
within a certain period of time following the change of control, we must offer to repurchase
all of the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued

Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event."

Certain Covenants
The base indenture and the third supplemental indenture (together, the "indenture")
governing the notes will contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability
to incur liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money or capital leases and engage in
mergers and consolidations or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. See "Description
of Notes."

Events of Default
In addition to the events of default described in the accompanying prospectus, the following
event will be an "event of default" with respect to the notes: default under any mortgage,
indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any indebtedness of Delta or a subsidiary (or the payment of which is
guaranteed by Delta or a subsidiary), whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or
is created after the issue date of the notes, if that default:

(a)
is caused by a failure to pay principal of such indebtedness at its stated final

maturity (a "Payment Default"); or


(b)
results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other such indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the

maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $200,000,000 or more. See
"Description of Notes--Events of Default."

Form 424(b)(5)
Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, which we estimate will be
approximately $1.59 billion, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated
offering expenses, to repay borrowings outstanding under our secured Pacific term loan B-1
facility and 2015 term loan facility. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general
corporate purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."

Further Issuances
We may, without notice to or consent of the holders or beneficial owners of the notes of any
series, issue additional notes of any series having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and
other terms (except for the issue date, public offering price, sale price and, in some cases, the
first interest payment date and the date from which interest shall begin to accrue) as the notes
offered hereby.

No Listing
The notes are not and are not expected to be listed on any securities exchange or included in
any automated quotation system. The notes will be new securities for which there is
currently no public market.

Denominations
The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

Form of Notes
We will issue the notes in the form of one or more fully registered global notes registered in
the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Investors may elect to
hold the interests in the global notes through any of DTC, Clearstream Banking, S.A. or
Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as described under the heading "Description of Notes--Book-
Entry, Delivery and Form."

Conflicts of Interest
Certain underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under our secured Pacific term loan B-1
facility and 2015 term loan facility and, accordingly, will receive a portion of the net
proceeds from this offering through the repayment of such indebtedness. Because 5% or
more of the net proceeds of this offering, not including underwriting compensation, will be
paid to certain of the underwriters (or their affiliates), which would be considered a "conflict
of interest" under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") Rule 5121, this
offering is being conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements of Rule 5121
regarding the underwriting of securities of a company with a FINRA member that has a
conflict of interest within the meaning of those rules. Pursuant to Rule 5121(a)(1)(C), the
appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in connection with this
offering as the notes offered hereby are investment grade rated (as defined in Rule 5121). See
"Underwriting; Conflicts of Interest."

Risk Factors
An investment in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider all of the
information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents
incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus. In

RISK FACTORS
In considering whether to purchase the notes, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related company free writing prospectus and other information which may be incorporated
by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus after the date hereof. In addition, you should carefully consider the risk
factors described below and the matters discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" included in our 2017 Annual Report and in "Part II. Other Information ­
Item 1A. Risk Factors" included in our 2018 First Quarter Form 10-Q.
Your right to receive payments on the notes is effectively subordinated to the rights of secured creditors.
The notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to our secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that
indebtedness. As of March 31, 2018, we had $5.8 billion of secured indebtedness. After giving effect to the issuance of the notes and assuming the
application of the net proceeds from this offering as described under "Use of Proceeds," our secured indebtedness as of March 31, 2018 would have been
approximately $4.3 billion. The indenture governing the notes permits us and our subsidiaries to incur additional secured debt. If we incur any additional
secured debt, our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries that are security for that debt will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors. In the event
of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all
debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our unsecured and
unsubordinated creditors, including our trade creditors.
If we incur any additional obligations that rank equally in right of payment with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations
will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes in any proceeds distributed upon our insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or
other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all of these
creditors, all or a portion of the notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.
The terms of the indenture and the notes provide only limited protection against significant corporate events and other actions we may take that
could adversely impact your investment in the notes.
While the indenture and the notes contain terms intended to provide protection to the holders of the notes upon the occurrence of certain events
involving significant corporate transactions, such terms are limited and may not be sufficient to protect your investment in the notes.
The indenture for the notes does not:


· require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity;


· limit our ability to incur indebtedness that is equal in right of payment to the notes, or to engage in sale/leaseback transactions;

· restrict our subsidiaries' ability to issue securities or otherwise incur indebtedness that would be senior to our equity interests in our

subsidiaries and therefore rank effectively senior to the notes;


· restrict our ability to repurchase or prepay any other of our securities or other indebtedness;

· restrict our ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our common stock, capital

stock or other securities ranking junior to the notes; or


· restrict our ability to enter into highly leveraged transactions.
As a result of the foregoing, when evaluating the terms of the notes, you should be aware that the terms of the indenture and the notes do not restrict
our ability to engage in, or to otherwise be a party to, a variety of

Form 424(b)(5)
corporate transactions, circumstances and events that could have an adverse impact on your investment in the notes.
Our ability to incur additional debt and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the indenture or the notes could
negatively affect the value of the notes.
Certain of our existing credit facilities include more protections for the lenders thereunder than are available to holders of the notes. For example,
subject to certain exceptions, such existing credit facilities restrict our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things, make
investments, sell or otherwise dispose of assets if not in compliance with the collateral coverage ratio tests, pay dividends or repurchase stock. These credit
facilities have various financial and other covenants that require us to maintain, depending on the particular agreement, minimum fixed charge coverage
ratios, minimum unrestricted liquidity and/or minimum collateral coverage ratios. In addition, the credit facilities contain other negative covenants
customary for such financings. If we fail to comply with those covenants and are unable to obtain a waiver or amendment, an event of default would result
under such existing credit facilities, and the lenders thereunder could, among other things, declare any outstanding borrowings under those existing credit
facilities immediately due and payable. However, because the notes do not contain similar covenants, such events may not constitute an event of default
under the notes and the holders of the notes would not be able to accelerate the payment under the notes. As a result, holders of the notes may be effectively
subordinated to the lenders of our existing credit facilities, and to new lenders or note holders, to the extent the instruments they hold include similar
protections.
We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
The notes require us to offer to repurchase all or any part of each holder's notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, as
defined under "Description of Notes--Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event," at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of purchase. We have previously issued other series of notes that similarly require us
to offer to repurchase the holders' notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Moreover, in the future, we may issue further series
of notes or enter into other debt arrangements that require us to repurchase or repay the principal amount of debt outstanding (plus a premium, if so
provided in the instrument or agreement) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event or similar event. If such an event were to occur, we
may not have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy all of those obligations. Consequently, we may not be able satisfy our obligations to
repurchase your notes under the terms of the indenture.
An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the market value of the notes.
The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which could
have an adverse effect on the market prices of the notes. In general, as market interest rates rise, debt securities bearing interest at fixed rates of interest
decline in value. Consequently, if you purchase notes bearing interest at fixed rates of interest and market interest rates increase, the market values of those
notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates.
Redemption may adversely affect your return on the notes.
We have the right to redeem some or all of the notes of each series of notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part prior to their maturity,
as described under "Description of Notes--Redemption." We may redeem notes at times when market interest rates may be lower than market interest
rates at the time the notes offered by this prospectus supplement were originally issued. Accordingly, if we redeem notes of any series, you may not be able
to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that on the notes of such series being redeemed.

Our credit ratings may not reflect all the risks of any investment in the notes.
Our credit ratings are an independent assessment of our ability to pay debt obligations as they become due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes
in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the notes. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact that risks related to
structural, market or other factors discussed in this prospectus supplement may have on the value of your notes.
Ratings of the notes could be lowered or withdrawn in the future.
We expect that the notes will be rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. A rating is not a recommendation to
purchase, hold, or sell debt securities since a rating does not predict the market price of a particular security or its suitability for a particular investor. Any
rating organization that rates the notes may lower our rating or decide not to rate the notes in its sole discretion. The ratings of the notes will be based
primarily on the rating organization's assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due and the payment of principal on the maturity
date. Any downgrade or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency that rates the notes could have an adverse effect on the trading prices or liquidity of the
notes.

Form 424(b)(5)
There may not be an active trading market for the notes.
The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities
exchange or any automated quotation system. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a trading market for the notes will ever develop or will be
maintained. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the notes, whether you will be able to sell the notes or
the prices at which you may be able to sell the notes. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to,
prevailing interest rates and economic conditions, our financial condition and results of operations, our prospects and prospects for companies in our
industry generally, the then-current credit ratings assigned to our securities (including, if applicable, the notes) and the market for similar securities.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering will be approximately $1.59 billion, after deducting the underwriting discounts
and estimated expenses of the offering payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to (i) repay borrowings outstanding under our
secured Pacific term loan B-1 facility due October 18, 2018 and (ii) repay borrowings outstanding under our 2015 term loan facility due August 24, 2022.
As of March 31, 2018, the principal amount of borrowings was approximately $1.05 billion under the secured Pacific term loan B-1 facility and $489
million under the 2015 term loan facility. The secured Pacific term loan B-1 facility and the 2015 term loan facility currently bear interest at the rate of
4.32% per annum and 4.38% per annum, respectively.
We intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Pending application of the net proceeds, we may temporarily invest the
net proceeds in money market funds, bank accounts, debt securities or deposits.
Certain underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under our secured Pacific term loan B-1 facility and 2015 term loan facility and, accordingly, will
receive a portion of the proceeds from this offering through the repayment of such indebtedness. Because 5% or more of the net proceeds of this offering,
not including underwriting compensation, will be paid to certain of the underwriters (or their affiliates), which would be considered a "conflict of interest"
under FINRA Rule 5121, this offering is being conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements of Rule 5121 regarding the underwriting of
securities of a company with a FINRA member that has a conflict of interest within the meaning of those rules. Pursuant to Rule 5121(a)(1)(C), the
appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in connection with this offering as the notes offered hereby are investment grade rated
(as defined in Rule 5121). See "Underwriting; Conflicts of Interest."

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table sets forth the historical ratio of our earnings to our fixed charges for the periods indicated. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges
represents the number of times that fixed charges are covered by earnings. Earnings represents income before income taxes, plus fixed charges, less
capitalized interest. Fixed charges include interest, whether expensed or capitalized, amortization of debt costs and the portion of rent expense
representative of the interest factor.
We adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" using the full retrospective
transition method and recast results from 2016 and 2017 including all interim periods therein. Results from periods prior to 2016 have not been recast for
the adoption of this standard.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The notes will be issued under the indenture referred to in the accompanying prospectus between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The following description, together with the description in the accompanying prospectus under the caption "Description of the Debt Securities," is a
summary of the material provisions of the notes and the indenture. It does not restate the indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture
because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the notes. We have filed the indenture as an exhibit to our registration statement,
which includes this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This description of the notes supplements, and, to the extent it is inconsistent
with, replaces, the description of the general provisions of the notes and the indenture in the accompanying prospectus. Each series of notes is a series of
our debt securities as that term is used in the accompanying prospectus.
With certain exceptions and pursuant to certain requirements set forth in the indenture, we may discharge our obligations under the indenture with
respect to the notes as described under the caption "Description of the Debt Securities--Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" in the
accompanying prospectus.
