China director, Delta Air Lines

A1:

China is an important market for Delta's long-term future, and we continue to see growth in China and expanded partnerships with Chinese airlines as an important part of our long-term strategy.

A2:

As a global airline, we regularly manage fluctuations in economic conditions and currency around the world. We have no plans to change our strategy of investing in and expanding in China.

A3:

As an airline, we have been working closely with our Chinese partners to share best practices and help them develop business models that produce a reliable, profitable and customer-focused operation.

A4:

The airline industry is highly competitive across the globe, and China is no different. We strongly believe that our partnerships with China Eastern and China Southern will provide a competitive advantage to both airlines that will help us become the preferred carriers for US-China travel.
