Watch Flightpath host, Joel Makower, and Amelia DeLuca, Vice President of Sustainability for Delta Air Lines, discuss why Delta put sustainability at the heart of its strategy and what the airline envisions for the future.
According to DeLuca, sustainability extends beyond climate to broader issues of social equity and being a force for good. She added that for aviation, that means not only protecting habitats and biodiversity but ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of aviation for generations to come.
“If you really step back, the airline industry is built upon trust with our consumers and purpose. We aren’t just flying airplanes. We connect people to people, people to places, people to new opportunities. And so there’s a responsibility that comes with what we do every day,” said DeLuca.
