To become an authorized agent to sell Delta tickets and services, a travel agency must be first fully accredited with Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) or international agents with the International Air Transport Association (IATA).  You may contact ARC or IATA directly to obtain country specific accreditation information.

During the accreditation process for both ARC and IATA, agency information is reviewed to determine if the agency is credit-worthy and meets guidelines to become an authorized agent. After successfully completing the accreditation process, the agency is provided access for booking and ticketing through their GDS.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. is included in the list of ARC Participating Carriers and uses the General Concurrence method of appointing travel agencies. 

New agencies interested in obtaining ticketing authority for Delta Air Lines (006) plates in these BSP countries should contact the local Delta Sales Office or a Delta Sales Representative for assistance.

An agent’s ability to sell Delta tickets and services is contingent upon compliance with Delta’s policies and guidelines for bookings, inventory availability, ticketing, refunds, exchanges, tariffs, commission policies, etc. Failure to meet these guidelines, and violations of Delta guidelines, can result in loss of an agency’s ability to sell and ticket on Delta. Delta reserves the right to recover losses associated with agent actions through the various channels available independently or in conjunction with ARC/IATA processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Delta require accreditation in addition to the ARC or IATA accreditation?

Delta Air Lines, Inc. maintains appointment standards which are separate from and may be more stringent than those of the ARC or IATA.

Why does Delta require additional security considering that ARC already has a Surety Bond or Letter of Credit?

ARC's requirement covers all carriers’ exposure which may not be adequate to cover Delta's potential exposure.

How does Delta determine if additional security is required and for what amount?

An independent credit evaluation is performed by Delta following receipt of your completed application package. Notification of Delta's decision regarding security requirements is provided as soon as possible following the evaluation.
