Delta Air Lines' Tampa Maintenance Base Celebrates 20th Anniversary

 
    TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Behind every commercial aircraft at
 Delta Air Lines (NYSE:   DAL) is an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT)
 focused on providing customers with safe and reliable travel.  This has been
 the philosophy of the AMT's at Delta's Technical Operations facility in Tampa,
 Fla. since it opened in January 1984.  This weekend, TechOps employees and
 their families will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Tampa maintenance
 facility.
     "Since its opening, our employees have transformed the Tampa facility into
 one of the safest and most productive maintenance operations," said Jim
 Maucere, vice president of Maintenance Base Operations. "Thanks to their hard
 work, the award winning Tampa maintenance facility is key to Delta's long term
 success and a great asset to both Delta and the Tampa Airport Authority."
     In 1984, Delta relocated its aircraft maintenance base from Miami
 International Airport to Tampa International Airport.  Representing a $20
 million investment, the new hangar and maintenance facility enabled Delta to
 perform major inspection and modification maintenance functions in Tampa.  The
 10.4 million cubic foot space had a 400-foot clear span opening and, at that
 time, was the second longest in the country.  Currently, the Tampa Technical
 Operations facility performs maintenance on Delta's fleet of MD-88 and Boeing
 737-800 aircraft and Song's fleet of Boeing 757 aircraft.
     Delta's Technical Operations Division, staffed by more than 10,000
 maintenance professionals from around the world, provides maintenance and
 engineering support services for Delta's fleet of aircraft in addition to a
 number of customer aircraft. Services range from project engineering to
 comprehensive turnkey agreements that provide all aircraft maintenance
 services to its customers.
     Delta Air Lines is proud to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2004. As the
 world's second largest airline in terms of passengers carried and the leading
 U.S. carrier across the Atlantic, Delta offers 7,318 flights each day to 487
 destinations in 82 countries on Delta, Song, Delta Shuttle, Delta Connection
 and Delta's worldwide partners. Delta was the first U.S. airline to operate
 regional jets and currently utilizes the largest RJ fleet. Delta is a founding
 member of SkyTeam, a global airline alliance that provides customers with
 extensive worldwide destinations, flights and services. For more information,
