FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Statements in this Form 10-Q (or otherwise made by Delta or on Delta’s behalf) which are not historical facts, including statements about Delta’s 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. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or Delta’s present expectations. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to:

  1.   the many effects on Delta and the airline industry from the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, including the following:

    the adverse impact of the terrorist attacks on the demand for air travel;
 
    the change in Delta’s operations and higher costs resulting from, and customer reaction to, new airline and airport security directives, including the Aviation and Transportation Security Act;
 
    the availability and cost of war and terrorism risk and other insurance for Delta;
 
    the credit downgrades of Delta and other airlines by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s, and the possibility of additional downgrades, to the extent it makes it more difficult and/or more costly for us to obtain financing;
 
    potential declines in the values of the aircraft in Delta’s fleet or facilities and related asset impairment charges;
 
    additional terrorist activity and/or war;

  2.   general economic conditions, both in the United States and in our markets outside the United States;
 
  3.   competitive factors in our industry, such as mergers and acquisitions, airline bankruptcies, the airline pricing environment, the growth of low cost carriers, international alliances, codesharing programs and capacity decisions by competitors;
 
  4.   outcomes of negotiations on collective bargaining agreements and other labor issues;
 
  5.   changes in the availability or cost of aircraft fuel or fuel hedges;
 
  6.   disruptions to operations due to adverse weather conditions and air traffic control-related constraints;

  7.   actions by the United States or foreign governments, including the Federal Aviation Administration and other regulatory agencies;
 
  8.   the willingness of customers to travel generally, and with Delta specifically, which could be affected by factors such as Delta’s and the industry’s safety record; and
 
  9.   the outcome of Delta’s litigation.

         Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on Delta’s forward-looking statements, which represent Delta’s views only as of August 13, 2002, and which Delta has no current intention to update.
