The US airline issued a statement saying that it recognises that global supply chains need support for shipping essential goods to businesses and communities and that it is responding to corporate customers who have told the carrier they need help transporting cargo during these times of uncertainty and change.

“Serving our customers and communities where we live, work and serve, is part of Delta’s DNA,” said Delta Cargo VP Shawn Cole. “Offering new supply chain solutions through Delta Cargo to our customers is one opportunity for us to provide the support our customers tell us they need during this unprecedented business environment.”
