Delta revealed its 100-year special livery at its Centennial Gala in Atlanta, held on Saturday in the newly renovated Delta Flight Museum. The design features distinctive swooping details, a “100” emblem, and the airline’s first silver supergraphic.
The unveiling coincided with the 100th anniversary of Huff Daland Dusters, the precursor to Delta. Originally an aerial crop-dusting company, it laid the groundwork for the airline’s growth.

This company was incorporated on March 2, 1925. At the time, it was the world’s first aerial crop-dusting company and the largest privately owned aircraft fleet in the U.S.
Saturday’s event included remarks from Delta CEO Ed Bastian and performances by Jon Batiste and Vitamin String Quartet. Attendees included key figures like former CEOs Ron Allen, Leo Mullin, and Richard Anderson.
Delta’s new special livery adorns two brand-new aircraft: an Airbus A321neo and A350-900. The A321neo, registered as N589DT, was delivered to the carrier last month and served as the centerpiece of Saturday’s gala.
