Just as a delta is a symbol for change in math, Delta Air Lines symbolizes the changing mathematics of the airline industry. Delta became the world's largest airline by traffic after its $2.8 billion October 2008 acquisition of Northwest Airlines. Through its regional carriers (including subsidiary Comair), the combined company serves more than 375 destinations in more than 65 countries, and it operates a mainline fleet of about 775 aircraft. Delta is also part of the SkyTeam marketing and code-sharing alliance (allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus extend their networks), which includes carriers such as Air France and KLM.
