Delta employees are in line to receive an average of over four weeks of extra pay as part of the airline’s profit-sharing program.
The carrier announced Tuesday that about $1.3 billion will be distributed to workers on Feb. 13, Delta’s “Profit Sharing Day.”
“The passion and dedication of Delta people carried us through 2025 and will continue to propel us forward,” Allison Ausband, Delta’s chief people officer, said in a news release. “Their unwavering focus on safety and care is what builds trust and a deep loyalty for customers, and continued success for Delta.”
This year’s bonus is among the largest payouts in the company’s history, officials said.
Under the airline’s profit-sharing model, employees receive 10% of the first $2.5 billion the airline earns and 20% above $2.5 billion.
Last year, Delta’s payouts from profit-sharing averaged about five weeks’ salary.
