The airline’s efforts are centered on two relief programs: American Red Cross and Japanese Red Cross Society.
The Delta Air Lines Foundation, Delta’s company-managed giving system, is providing an immediate $250,000 cash donation to the Japanese Red Cross Society to support rescue and recovery efforts.
This donation will be supplemented by cash contributions from Delta customers and employees who are encouraged to donate via a dedicated Delta-Red Cross website.
Donations made at this site will be routed directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society’s efforts to assist persons in affected areas.
These donations are in addition to Delta’s long-standing agreement with the American Red Cross to provide complimentary cargo and passenger capacity, if needed, to help move relief supplies and workers to and from disaster areas around the world.
SkyWish Asia-Delta has committed to match up to 5 million miles against customers’ donations to World Vision Japan through its SkyWish Asia program.
