Delta has been named one of Glassdoor’s 2026 Top 100 Best Places to Work, standing out as the only airline included in the ranking. It marks the ninth time the company has appeared on the list, which is based on anonymous reviews from employees and broader economic data.

Glassdoor’s annual ranking reflects how people experience their workplace from the inside. For 2026, Delta employees highlighted leadership that supports individual success, strong career development opportunities and a culture defined by teamwork and mutual respect.

Employee feedback at the core

The recognition is rooted in direct feedback from Delta’s workforce. According to Glassdoor, employees pointed to a sense of belonging and support, as well as opportunities to grow professionally within the company.

“This recognition means so much because it comes directly from our people,” said Lisa Blackmon, Managing Director, Global Talent Acquisition. “At Delta, we’re intentional about creating a workplace where every employee can build a career they’re proud of, feel supported and know they belong.”

Investment in people and careers

Delta’s approach includes ongoing investment in its employees through profit sharing, comprehensive healthcare, mental health resources and family-building support. Additional benefits such as unlimited standby travel privileges and a wide range of career and training opportunities are designed to support both personal and professional development.

By combining these investments with a workplace culture centered on support and collaboration, Delta continues to distinguish itself within the aviation industry. The 2026 Glassdoor recognition underscores the airline’s long-term focus on creating an environment where employees feel valued and empowered.
