Delta Simplifies Boarding Process With Numbered Zones

• Delta updates boarding process, transitions to numbered zones rather than branded zones like Delta One to simplify and add clarity

• Change takes effect May 1, 2024 but does not impact who is in each boarding group

• Delta believes change will simplify boarding for customers and employees

• Numbered zones used by many of Delta's partners, creates consistent experience on mixed itineraries

• Unclear if change will make boarding faster, which airlines aim to do to shorten plane turnaround times
