WEBWIRE

ATLANTA, Jan. 10, 2007 – Delta Air Lines today issued the following preliminary statement based on its initial assessment of the revised, unsolicited merger proposal from US Airways:

“Delta’s Board of Directors will fulfill its fiduciary duty to review the revised unsolicited merger proposal announced today by US Airways. On its face, the revised proposal does not address significant concerns that have been raised about the initial US Airways proposal and, in fact, would increase the debt burden of the combined company by yet another $1 billion.”
