Delta Air Lines, a leading international carrier offering service to more than 350 destinations in nearly 70 countries, recently joined the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association’s group of Global Partners as a new Platinum Partner to show its continued support of the worldwide LGBT community.

The Global Partnership Program was developed to provide the international business community with opportunities to align itself with IGLTA through customized marketing platforms to showcase a commitment to LGBT travelers worldwide.

"Delta is committed to global diversity and we demonstrate that through both industry and community relationships," said Steve Sear, Delta’s vice president – Global Sales. "We are proud to support our LGBT customers and communities where we live and serve."

 The Platinum Level Global Partnership provides significant exposure for a company seeking to strengthen its LGBT outreach. This partnership level contains bundled marketing opportunities in combination with high-level, creative visibility for invested partners to help build and maintain a relationship with IGLTA members and the increasingly visible LGBT community worldwide.

“We are very excited to have Delta Air Lines at our top level of partnership,” said IGLTA President/CEO John Tanzella. “Over the past four years Delta has significantly grown its support of LGBT events and causes, and IGLTA is proud to promote Delta to the global community of frequent travelers.”
