Delta has again taken home top honors at the 17th annual Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards, having been named Best Domestic, Best International, Best Sales & Service and Best Overall in the Airlines category. Additionally, Delta Vacations earned Best Tour Operator Packaged Overall in the Tour Operators category. The awards are voted on by readers of Travel Weekly, one of the most influential business-to-business news resources for the travel industry.

'Every year, the more than 80,000 men and women of Delta Air Lines go the extra mile for our customers, always striving to offer them better service, better operational reliability and a better product than we had the year before,' said Kristen Shovlin, V.P. - Sales Operations and Development, who accepted the award on behalf of the airline at a ceremony in New York last week. 'Our consistent 'listen, act, listen' philosophy and our passion for our customers, combined with the unparalleled talents of the Delta team, are what gives us the edge.'
