Delta Air Lines was named ‘Best Long-Haul Airline’ at the 25^th annual Business Travel Awards (BTA) 2020, retaining the title for a second year running.

One of the most prestigious awards in the U.K. travel sphere, the Business Travel Awards are judged by a panel of senior industry experts. Judges commended Delta this year for its ‘product upgrades and fuel efficiency programme, outstanding performance record and its focus on environmental issues and people.’ They also praised the airline for its diversity and women in leadership programs, as well as its commitment to working with other companies that embrace Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

The award kicks off an exciting year ahead for Delta in the U.K. The airline will be making a return to London Gatwick and Manchester Airports this summer with new flights to Boston. Meanwhile, customers continue to enjoy greater trans-Atlantic comfort thanks to the fully-refurbished B767-400 and popular A330 aircraft on more London Heathrow routes.

In addition to winning ‘Best Long-Haul Airline’, Delta was shortlisted as a finalist in two other categories: ‘Best Business Airline’ and ‘Best CSR Programme.’
