  12. Delta and Northwest Positioning Delta for Continued Success • Delta operating in over 390 airports worldwide • Roughly 245 domestic and 145 international locations • Delta rebranding completed in 76 stations where only Northwest operated • Primarily located in the Midwest and Asia • Airport consolidations in 170 locations where both Delta and Northwest operated were completed in January 2010 • First airports were consolidated in March 2009 • PHL was the last airport consolidated in January 2010 • Critical to consolidate prior to February 1, 2010, date of last Northwest flights • Over 160 airport gates and associated space were released during the process • Rebranding in 150 Delta only airports with Air France and KLM signage was also completed • Providing system wide signage consistency for SkyTeam

  13. Industry Perspective – the last few years. • Volatile fuel costs – although lower this year, still at historically high levels • Industry seeing passenger declines in major airports for first time • Shifting dynamics of airline model – repositioning to build on core strengths • Worldwide recession and economic challenges unparalleled during our lifetime • Airline Ratings continue to be below investment grade • Consolidation – more to come?

  15. Demand for Domestic Air Travel Has Not RecoveredDomestic Passenger Revenue as Share of U.S. GDP Continues to Stagnate “The events of 9/11 marked…a permanent decline in domestic airline demand. We estimate that the gap between pre-9/11 demand and the post-9/11 period demand resulted in $26bn in lost revenue in 2008 and $150bn in cumulative lost revenue over the last 7 years. For perspective, the cumulative loss in revenue is the equivalent of the industry having no domestic revenue in 2007 and 2008.” “9/11 Revenue Impact in Context,”Gary Chase, Barclays Capital(Feb. 10, 2009) Impact = $22B Sources: Bureau of Economic Analysis and Bureau of Transportation Statistics 14

  16. With Declining Portion of Economy Being Spent on Domestic Air Travel, Airlines Have Contracted Accordingly Domestic ASMs per 000 Dollars ($2000) of U.S. GDP Sources: ATA analysis of data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and Bureau of Transportation Statistics 15

  17.

  20. Immediate Challenges Loom Large • A healthy commercial aviation sector enables/fosters a thriving economy • In large part, airlines’ post-2000 survival has come via contraction, with 152K fewer jobs and 8% less domestic seating capacity (through 2Q09) • U.S. airlines incurred multibillion-dollar pretax losses in 2008 • For 2009, lower fuel prices were offset by plummeting demand • Demand for air travel and air cargo, especially time-sensitive shipments, is down sharply in all regions in which U.S. carriers operate • Spending on air transport also down – permanently – as share of U.S. GDP • To invest in people, planes and product, airlines require sustained profitability (pretax margin) – they need to earn their cost of capital • Mergers may help facilitate continue contractions and allow carriers to cover their cost of capital 19
