Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 7, 2005, Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta") announced that it has been
advised by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that its common stock - ticker
symbol DAL - and its 8 1/8% Notes due July 1, 2039 - ticker symbol DNT - will be
suspended from trading on the NYSE on October 13, 2005, and that the NYSE will
submit an application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist these
securities.
Delta received written notification from the NYSE on October 4, 2005 that the
average closing price of Delta's common stock fell below the NYSE's continued
listing minimum share price standard of $1.00 over a consecutive 30-trading-day
period as of October 3, 2005. This condition subjected Delta's securities to the
NYSE's suspension and delisting procedures.
Delta has informed the NYSE that, due to its recent Chapter 11 filing, it does
not intend to attempt to cure this deficiency and will not oppose the suspension
and delisting from trading on the NYSE of its common stock and its 8 1/8% Notes
due July 1, 2039. Delta expects these securities to be delisted from the NYSE
upon approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
