Unofficial results show overwhelming support of Delta's plan
ATLANTA, April 16, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Delta Air Lines (Other OTC:DALRQ.PK - News) today announced that unofficial results of the vote on the company's Plan of Reorganization show overwhelming support of creditors for the company's plan. More than 95 percent of ballots cast and claims value voting were in favor of the plan.

The final voting results for both plans will be filed later this week with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Bastian, Delta's executive vice president and chief financial officer. ``We are looking forward to a strong future as we emerge from bankruptcy later this month, continuing the momentum we have built through our restructuring and returning Delta to its rightful place as an industry leader.''
The next milestone in Delta's bankruptcy proceeding will be April 25 when the court will be asked to confirm Delta's Plan of Reorganization, allowing the airline to exit Chapter 11. On Feb. 7, Delta received court approval of its Disclosure Statement and the authorization to solicit votes from creditors on its plan of reorganization. Voting on the plan ended April 9.
Important Financial Disclosure
Delta's Plan of Reorganization provides for certain creditors to receive distributions of newly issued common stock upon the Company's emergence from bankruptcy. Holders of Delta's existing common stock (the ``old equity'') will not receive any distributions under Delta's proposed Plan of Reorganization. The old equity, which was delisted from the NYSE on October 13, 2005, is currently trading over the counter under the symbol DALRQ. The old equity will be cancelled upon the effectiveness of the proposed Plan of Reorganization, which the company believes will be shortly after the Bankruptcy Court's confirmation hearing scheduled on April 25, 2007. Accordingly, we urge that caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in the old equity and any of Delta's existing liabilities and other securities.
