ITEM
7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Edward H.
Bastian, President of Delta, today will present to the Credit Suisse Global
Airline Conference. Materials to be used in conjunction with the
presentation are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
In
accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8−K, the information in this
report (including exhibits) that is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of
Form 8−K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act, as amended, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that
section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth in such
filing. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any
information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation
FD.
Statements
in this Form 8-K and the attached exhibit that are not historical facts,
including statements regarding our estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions,
projections or strategies for the future, may be “forward-looking statements” as
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates,
expectations, beliefs, intentions, projections and strategies reflected in or
suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the cost of aircraft fuel; the
impact that our indebtedness will have on our financial and operating activities
and our ability to incur additional debt; the restrictions that financial
covenants in our financing agreements will have on our financial and business
operations; labor issues; interruptions or disruptions in service at one of our
hub airports; our increasing dependence on technology in our operations; our
ability to retain management and key employees; the ability of our credit card
processors to take significant holdbacks in certain circumstances; the effects
of terrorist attacks; and competitive conditions in the airline industry; and
our ability to achieve expected synergies from our merger with
Northwest.
Additional
information concerning risks and uncertainties that could cause differences
between actual results and forward-looking statements is contained in Delta’s
Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2008. Caution should be taken not to place undue
reliance on Delta’s forward-looking statements, which represent Delta’s views
only as of December 2, 2008, and which Delta has no current intention to
update.
