Delta Air Linesjust launched its new ‘Comfort Basic’ tickets for select domestic flights. The option is now the cheapest route to a seat in the roomier Comfort cabin.
For customers deciding on tickets, the Comfort Basic option will pop up next to Comfort Classic and Comfort Extra. It offers extra legroom, free alcoholic beverages, specified overhead bin space, and Zone 3 boarding.
Passengers will also earn rewards that are currently unavailable to Main Basic ticket holders. SkyMiles and Medallion Qualifications Dollars are up for grabs, and ticket holders will be permitted entrance to the airline’s lounges.
But the ticket doesn’t come without restrictions. Seats are assigned, not selected, after passengers check-in, and no one with this ticket type is eligible for first-class upgrades. Same-day changes are not permitted, and cancelling a trip will trigger a fee, as it would for Main Basic.

Customer Reactions to Delta Comfort Basic
This new ticket marks Delta’s 12th fare option across its five cabins. While it gives flyers another choice in price and benefits, some customers are concerned about having too many decisions to make.
“[R]ight now, having this many different class types is confusing as h–l for me and I fly [around] seven times a year,” one Reddit user said. “I can only imagine what it’s like for the average person.”
Others are excited about the prospect of more space for less money.
“If you want extra legroom but don’t care about anything else, this is great,” another user said.
Future Upgrades
Either way, Delta plans to continue adding to the list of fare products.
The airline said it could offer the same three levels that it now offers in the Main and Comfort cabins—Basic, Classic, and Extra—in its more premium cabins down the line.
“I think the segmentation that we’ve done in the main cabin is kind of the template that we’re going to bring to all of our premium cabins over time,” Glen Hauenstein, Delta president, said in July. “It’s all about giving people more choice, more pricing options, and more products and services in every cabin.”
Two next-generation aviation companies are facing off in a legal battle.
Joby Aviation is suing Archer Aviation over allegations that its rival misappropriated trade secrets that were stolen from Joby by a former employee. Joby filed the lawsuit Thursday. It comes as the two companies push to roll out electric air taxi service in the U.S.
“Archer brazenly used that stolen information to interfere with Joby’s exclusive strategic partnership,” the complaint reads. “This is corporate espionage, planned and premeditated.”
Both companies are developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, meant to operate as air taxis. Santa Cruz, California-based Joby Aviation is targeting Dubai for the initial launch of its first air taxi service before rolling out in the U.S. cities like Los Angeles and New York, in partnership with Delta Air Lines. Archer Aviation is based in San Jose, California, and also aims to roll out its air taxi service in New York City, but in partnership with United Airlines. Both trade publicly on the New York Stock Exchange and have contracts with the Department of Defense for military applications of their technology.
An Inc.com Featured Presentation
The lawsuit centers around Archer employee George Kivork, who had previously worked as Joby’s head of U.S. state and local policy. On his LinkedIn, Kivork describes his current role at Archer as general manager. Prior to Joby, he worked as a senior public policy manager at Lyft, in various roles for the city of Los Angeles, and as an attorney in the Department of Commerce’s Office of General Counsel.
The lawsuit alleges that two days before Kivork left the company, he withdrew “dozens of files” from Joby’s systems, even sending some to his personal email. They allegedly contained confidential and proprietary information about “partnership terms, business and regulatory strategies, infrastructure strategies for vertiports and airport access, and technical information about Joby’s aircraft and operations.” Three weeks later, Joby alleges that Archer approached a major real estate developer that already has a strategic partnership with Joby, and pitched a deal that was “specifically calibrated to undercut Joby’s agreement with the Developer.”
Archer Chief Legal and Strategy Officer Eric Lentel called Joby’s case “bad faith litigation” in a statement provided to Inc.
“Joby alleges we used their trade secrets to win a ‘deal’ with a developer but the reality is that Archer has no deal with this developer and Mr. Kivork did not bring any Joby confidential information to Archer,” Lentell said. “Joby knows these facts and is now improperly attempting to achieve through bad faith litigation what it cannot accomplish through fair competition. Archer remains focused on building the future of advanced aviation in America.”
Archer has been under legal scrutiny before. In 2021, autonomous eVTOL company Wisk Aero sued Archer for alleged intellectual property theft. The company similarly claimed that Archer had acquired the confidential information through a former employee, TechCrunch reported. The two eventually settled in 2023, and per terms of the dispute, Archer agreed to use Wisk as an autonomous partner, according to CNBC. As of 2023, Wisk is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boeing.
Los Angeles International Airport will shut down Terminal 5 for a “complete demolition” and overhaul project, it announced Monday.
The closure, slated for Oct. 28, comes as part of a $30-billion overhaul ahead of the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics in L.A. The major renovation will “deliver a brand new terminal and airport experience,” according to an airport news release. It is only the latest of a series of expansion and overhaul projects that have kept LAX in a state of what feels like perpetual construction.
Doug Webster, chief airport operations and maintenance officer at Los Angeles World Airports, said the planned renovation “marks a pivotal moment” for the airport.

“Our goal is to minimize disruption during this transition, and we are working closely with our airline partners to ensure continued operations and smooth travel for our passengers,” Webster said.
In 2017, the airport launched a massive reshuffling of terminals so that Delta Airlines could move its LAX operations from Terminals 5 and 6 to Terminals 2 and 3, forcing 19 other carriers to relocate. The move also connected Terminals 2 and 3 to each other and to the Tom Bradley International Terminal. The project cleared the way for Delta’s $1.9-billion renovation project that was completed in 2022.
As part of the latest construction project, airlines housed in Terminal 5 have begun to be relocated to other parts of the airport.
Beginning this week, JetBlue will operate out of Terminal 1, and Spirit Airlines will operate out of Terminal 2. American Airlines will operate out of Terminal 4 beginning Oct. 28.

The airport’s new Midfield Satellite Concourse South will help keep operations running as well, according to airport officials. The concourse, open to the public as of this week, is an extension of the West Gates at Tom Bradley International Terminal and adds more than 150,000 square feet and eight gates to LAX.
In February, the L.A. City Council approved $5 billion worth of contracts as part of a broader $30-billion overhaul. The 51 agreements approved between the airport and several local businesses involved the rebuilding of Terminal 5, updates at Tom Bradley International Terminal and improvements for how travelers will navigate the airport’s horseshoe loop on 1 World Way, where traffic typically delays motorists.
Terminal 5 is expected to reopen just before the 2028 Olympics.

United Airlines, which has increasingly tapped into premium offerings and brand-loyalty programs, expects surging revenue in these areas to deliver a strong finish to 2025—so long as the ongoing government shutdown doesn’t dampen travel demand.
During United’s third-quarter earnings call today (Oct. 16), CEO Scott Kirby told analysts that the airline’s cancellation rates and on-time performance have remained steady so far. “There hasn’t really been a measurable impact in the first couple of weeks of October. [But] the longer this drags on, obviously the risks will grow on both of those points, so I hope our politicians will figure out how to get in a room, compromise and get something done,” he said.
The shutdown, now in its third week, is disrupting flights nationwide due to staffing shortages at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The shutdown has placed added strain on air traffic controllers, many of whom are expected to work with reduced or no pay until the government reopens.
Kirby said most controllers continue to show up for duty, but warned that a prolonged shutdown would eventually take a toll. “Every day that goes by, the risk to the U.S. economy grows. I hope we will avoid an unforced error here,” he said.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian raised similar concerns last week, cautioning that “cracks will soon emerge” if the shutdown isn’t resolved “beyond another 10 days or so.”
United and Delta pivot to premium offerings
United and Delta—the nation’s two largest airlines by market capitalization—are better positioned than most to weather potential turbulence. Both carriers have surged ahead of rivals by doubling down on premium seats and cultivating customer loyalty.
Between July and September, United reported $15.2 billion in revenue, up 2.6 percent year-over-year but slightly below analyst expectations. Net income came in at $949 million, a modest 1 percent decline. A bright spot is the premium cabins, where revenue rose 6 percent, while loyalty program revenue jumped 9 percent from a year ago. The company expects that loyalty-driven momentum will help it post record-high operating revenue in the final quarter of 2025.
To sustain that growth, United plans to invest more than $1 billion next year in enhancing its customer experience. The upgrades include adding more seatback screens and extra legroom, increasing food spending by 25 percent and equipping its entire fleet with SpaceX’s Starlink wifi by 2027.
Delta has already benefited from a pivot to luxury. The airline reported better-than-expected quarterly revenue and profit earlier this month and expects its premium cabins to surpass economy-class sales for the first time next year.
Kirby said United’s success reflects a long-term bet on a fundamental shift in traveler behavior. For decades, he noted, airlines were viewed as interchangeable commodities mainly chosen on price and schedule. But as most carriers now offer comparable routes and fares, loyalty and brand differentiation have become the new battleground.
“What we’ve proven, and continue to prove in the last few years, is that it is possible to transform into a brand-loyal airline,” he said.

Between the U.S. government shutdown and ongoing economic uncertainty, it’s a turbulent time for airlines. But not for Delta, the largest American airline by market capitalization, which has emerged from the industry’s recent challenges largely unscathed as its investment in high-end travel begins to pay off.
Delta shares jumped more than 4 percent today (Oct. 9) after the Atlanta-headquartered airline reported better-than-expected revenue and profit for the July-September quarter. Quarterly sales reached $15.2 billion, up 4.1 percent year-over-year, while net income rose 11 percent to $1.42 billion. Strong demand for premium travel helped lift results: sales in Delta’s premium unit climbed 9 percent to $5.8 billion, even as main cabin revenue dipped 4 percent to $6 billion.
The airline could soon earn more from premium seating than from economy for the first time. Delta had previously forecast that milestone for 2027, but it may now happen as early as next year, according to the airline’s president, Glen Hauenstein. “We see that there are many, many more opportunities in premium in the coming years,” he told analysts today.
Some of those opportunities lie in Delta’s key markets like Los Angeles, Boston, New York and Seattle due to their concentration of a “considerable amount of premium” customers, CEO Ed Bastian said on today’s call.
The airline is also expanding its high-end offerings by outfitting nearly 1,000 aircraft with free WiFi and deepening partnerships with American Express, Uber and YouTube. Delta has even ventured into retail through collaborations like its recent lounge set project with Spanx.
Rebounding from the ‘spring swoon’
Back in March, things looked less promising when Delta slashed its profit forecast amid economic concerns tied to the Trump administration’s tariffs. The company refers to that period as the “spring swoon.” Since then, Delta has rebounded and offered stronger-than-expected guidance for the fourth quarter of 2025, projecting total revenue growth between 2 and 4 percent over the next three months.
Meanwhile, the U.S. travel industry faces headwinds from the federal government shutdown that began in early October. Flights across the country have been delayed as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities report staffing shortages. The country has also seen a “slight tick-up in sick calls” from air traffic controllers—who, like other essential workers, are expected to work without pay during the shutdown, said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy at a recent press conference.
Delta has weathered shutdowns before. During the 35-day federal shutdown that began in 2018, the airline lost about $1 million per day in revenue, Hauenstein said. This time, the impact has been smaller, in part because Delta is less dependent on the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport—one of the hubs most affected by staffing disruptions.
“While we are monitoring potential impacts from the U.S. government shutdown, we have not seen a material effect to date,” added Hauenstein.
In a dramatic mid-flight emergency on Wednesday evening, July 30, 2025, Delta Air Lines Flight 56 encountered severe turbulence that sent 25 people to the hospital and forced the Amsterdam-bound aircraft to make an emergency landing in Minneapolis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR08ZLGa7m4
The Airbus A330-900, carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew members from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam, diverted to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) after experiencing what Delta described as “significant turbulence” while en route over the United States.
Emergency Response at MSP Airport
The aircraft touched down safely at approximately 7:45 p.m. local time, where emergency crews were standing by. The Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport Fire Department and paramedics met the plane at the gate, providing immediate medical attention to injured passengers and crew.
“Medical personnel met the flight upon arrival to evaluate customers and crew,” Delta said in an official statement. “Twenty-five of those on board were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and care.”
Understanding the Turbulence Threat
While the exact nature and severity of injuries have not been publicly detailed, unofficial sources suggest the aircraft may have dropped approximately 900 feet during the turbulence encounter. This type of severe turbulence can cause passengers and crew to be thrown violently against seat belts or cabin fixtures.
According to the National Weather Service, severe turbulence causes:
Large and abrupt changes in altitude and attitude
Significant variations in indicated airspeed
Momentary loss of aircraft control
Violent forces against occupants secured by seat belts
The Growing Turbulence Challenge
This incident highlights a concerning trend in aviation safety. According to a 2021 National Transportation Safety Board report, turbulence-related accidents are the most common type of accident involving air carriers operating under U.S. regulations.
The unpredictability of turbulence makes it one of the most challenging weather phenomena for pilots to navigate. Unlike other weather conditions that can be detected and avoided, clear-air turbulence can occur without warning, even in seemingly calm conditions.
Delta’s Response and Passenger Support
Delta Air Lines emphasized that safety remains their top priority. “Safety is our No. 1 value at Delta, and our Delta Care Team is working directly with customers to support their immediate needs,” the airline stated.
The carrier expressed gratitude for the emergency responders who assisted at MSP Airport. “We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved,” Delta added in their statement.
Recent Turbulence Incidents
This incident follows a pattern of turbulence-related emergencies in recent months. In March 2025, five passengers sustained minor injuries when United Express Flight 5690 experienced turbulence while traveling from Missouri to Houston, forcing an emergency landing in Waco, Texas.
Key facts about aviation turbulence safety:
Turbulence-related injuries remain relatively rare despite their frequency
Most injuries occur when passengers are not wearing seat belts
Flight attendants are most vulnerable as they move about the cabin
Modern aircraft are designed to withstand even severe turbulence
Investigation and Next Steps
While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have not yet issued official statements, incidents involving injuries due to turbulence typically trigger internal airline reviews and potential federal investigations.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission confirmed that the flight was diverted “due to reported in-flight turbulence that caused injuries on board,” with spokesperson Jeff Lea coordinating emergency response efforts.
Passenger Safety Reminders
This incident serves as a crucial reminder for air travelers about the importance of following safety protocols:
Always keep seat belts fastened when seated, even when the sign is off
Follow crew instructions immediately during turbulence
Secure loose items that could become projectiles
Return to seats promptly when turbulence is announced
As climate change continues to affect weather patterns globally, aviation experts predict that turbulence encounters may become more frequent and severe, making passenger compliance with safety measures more critical than ever.
The investigation into this incident continues, with updates expected as more information becomes available from Delta Air Lines and federal aviation authorities.

Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian is speaking out after thousands of flight cancelations left passengers stranded, delayed, and without luggage.
In a memo early Wednesday morning, Bastian told customers that he was hopeful the worst was over and systems should be up and running after last week’s CrowdStrike outage that affected one of Delta’s key crew tracking-related tools. Bastian also said in the memo that he’s read customers’ frustrated emails and apologized to those impacted.
“While our initial efforts to stabilize the operations were difficult and frustratingly slow and complex, we have made good progress this week and the worst impacts of the CrowdStrike-caused outage are clearly behind us,” Bastian wrote. “We anticipate cancellations Wednesday to be minimal. Thursday is expected to be a normal day, with the airline fully recovered and operating at a traditional level of reliability.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, Delta had canceled 41 flights — just 1% of its total flights for the day — and delayed 513. In comparison, on Tuesday, the airline had canceled 511 flights and delayed a whopping 1,685.
On Wednesday, the same day his memo was released, Bastian arrived in Paris ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, where Delta is the official airline for Team USA.
“Ed delayed this long-planned business trip until he was confident the airline was firmly on the path to recovery,” Delta told CNN in a statement. “As of Wednesday morning, Delta’s operations were returning to normal. Ed remains fully engaged with senior operations leaders.”
The airline said it has continued to provide affected customers with meals, accommodations, and ground transport in addition to vouchers, reimbursements, and SkyMiles.
Delta was down over 9% year over year as of Wednesday afternoon.
