            Commemorating the centennial of Delta Air Lines.

Whereas, on March 2, 2025, Delta Air Lines turns 100 years old, becoming the 
        first United States airline to reach the centenarian milestone;
Whereas Delta Air Lines was founded on March 2, 1925, as Huff Daland Dusters--
        the world's first aerial crop-dusting company;
Whereas Delta Air Service and the airline's first flights took off 4 years 
        later;
Whereas, in 2025, Delta Air Lines's team of 100,000 people supports up to 5,000 
        daily flights serving more than 200,000,000 travelers per year;
Whereas Delta Air Lines maintains hubs from coast to coast, including in 
        Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, California, Michigan, 
        Minnesota, and Utah;
Whereas, with thousands of peak-day departures to more than 290 global 
        destinations on 6 continents, Delta Air Lines connects millions of 
        people around the globe to and through the United States daily and helps 
        keep the United States a top country for business and the economy of the 
        United States strong;
Whereas, for the past 100 years, the mission of Delta Air Lines to connect the 
        world has included a commitment to being a strong partner in the 
        communities where its people live, work, and serve; and
Whereas, in 2025, Delta was named North America's most on-time airline by 
        Cirium, the Top United States Airline by the Wall Street Journal, the 
        World's Most Admired Airline by Fortune, and the top-ranked airline on 
        Time's inaugural World's Best Companies List: Now, therefore be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes Delta Air Lines for 100 years of connecting 
        people to the world and to each other; and
            (2) commemorates the centennial of Delta Air Lines.
