Summary

Delta Air Lines completed a $500 million public offering of 5.500% notes due 2029. Delta intends to use part of the net proceeds to repay roughly $391 million of borrowings under its unsecured Payroll Support Program loan, about $70 million of aircraft-secured equipment notes, and, together with cash on hand, about $39 million of Class B Pass Through Certificates, Series 2020-1, with any remainder for general corporate purposes.

Key points

  • The notes are Delta's direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations maturing November 6, 2029, with interest payable semi-annually beginning May 6, 2027.
  • Delta may redeem the notes at any time before October 6, 2029 at a make-whole price, and at par plus accrued interest on or after that date.
  • If a change of control occurs and the notes are downgraded below investment grade by two or more ratings agencies, Delta must offer to repurchase them at 101% of principal.
  • Delta entered an underwriting agreement on November 4, 2026 with BofA Securities, Citigroup Global Markets, Deutsche Bank Securities, Goldman Sachs & Co. and Standard Chartered Bank as representatives of the underwriters.
