Delta Air Lines marks a milestone in aviation by becoming the first U.S. airline to celebrate its centennial. To commemorate this achievement, it has completely renovated the Delta Flight Museum, a space dedicated to preserving its legacy and connecting with the public through interactive experiences and historical exhibits.
Located at Delta’s headquarters in Atlanta, the museum officially reopens its doors on Monday, April 7, showcasing a comprehensive overhaul of its facilities. Its expansive hangars now house interactive exhibits that allow visitors to immerse themselves in the airline’s culture and explore the evolution of commercial aviation.
An Immersive Experience for Visitors
Among the new features, the museum introduces Delta Connects You, an extended reality experience that highlights the airline’s impact on connecting cultures and people worldwide. Additionally, the exhibits offer an up-close look at the company’s history, from its early days to the present.
Since its inauguration in 1995, the Delta Flight Museum has been a benchmark for aviation enthusiasts and curious travelers. With this renovation, it also becomes an exclusive event space, available for corporate meetings, conferences, and special celebrations, including weddings.

A Tribute to History and Its People
Delta’s commitment to preserving its legacy is reflected in the work of its archive team. Marie Force, Director of Archives, emphasizes the importance of conserving historical artifacts, from aircraft models to employee uniforms and engine parts.
“Preserving and sharing Delta’s history is not just about honoring our past but also inspiring future generations of aviation professionals,” said Force.
The museum’s renovation, which took over a year to complete, was funded by The Delta Air Lines Foundation and donations from employees, retirees, and friends of the airline.
