Delta SkyWish(TM) Program Announces the Safe America Foundation as Charity of the Quarter

SkyMiles(R) program members may donate miles to support safety education

ATLANTA,  Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) has designated the Safe America Foundation as the fourth SkyWish Charity of the Quarter for 2004. SkyMiles program members may contribute miles to support the organization's efforts to promote youth safety, homeland security and transportation safety.

"We look forward to assisting Safe America with promoting safety education through mileage donation," said Jeff Robertson, director of Delta's SkyMiles Loyalty Program. "Through SkyWish, Delta and our SkyMiles program members can help provide support for education programs on a broad range of safety issues."

Based in Marietta, Ga., the mission of Safe America is to advance the issues of safety at home, work and in leisure activities through the distribution of safety products and educational programming. The organization previously worked with Delta to develop the WorldSafe(R) program, aimed at educating global travelers and businesses about travel industry trends, airport safety, travel safety and travel technology.

"Safe America believes that educating ourselves, our families and our children about safety in our day-to-day activities is paramount to the well being of all," said Len Pagano, president of the Safe America Foundation. "We are excited to have Delta support our efforts to provide safety education and products."

Donations may be made via e-mail at delta.bids@delta.com, by calling 1-800-325-3999 or via fax at 404-773-1945. When making a donation, SkyMiles program members should include their SkyMiles account number, the amount of miles to be donated and note that the Safe America Foundation is the charity that their miles will benefit. Additional SkyWish donation information can be found at delta.com/skymiles/use/donate.

There is a 5,000-mile minimum donation, and Delta will boost each donation by 20 percent for every 5,000 miles contributed. SkyWish donations are not tax deductible for Delta Air Lines or SkyMiles program members.

In addition to the above-mentioned initiatives, Safe America has also developed other important programs including the Safest Kid in America, Cobb Safe Communities, WorldSafe and SafeTeen America. The Safe America Foundation has funded over more than 150,000 youth safety products for at-risk children and partners with businesses and agencies to produce safety programming.
