Delta Air Lines continues honoring D-Day heroes by arranging special charter flights to Normandy. For the fourth straight year, it remains the only U.S. carrier flying directly to this historic region. Therefore, this journey marks the 81st anniversary of the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy. As a result, it ensures the world never forgets the sacrifices of World War II veterans.

On May 31, 2025, a dedicated flight will leave Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and land in Deauville, France. Meanwhile, thirty World War II veterans will take this emotional journey. They will attend ceremonies that honor their bravery and sacrifice. To make this possible, Delta Air Lines partners with the Best Defense Foundation and Michelin. Furthermore, each veteran will receive personalized care throughout the trip.

In addition, Delta Air Lines helps educate future generations about these historic events. This year, ten students will travel with the veterans. Moreover, they will walk with them to key locations, including the beaches where history was made. Additionally, these students will attend the Freedom Prize ceremony in Caen on June 3. Through this experience, they will gain deep insight into the sacrifices that shaped today’s world.

Beyond these flights, Delta Air Lines remains committed to supporting veterans in many ways. Over 11% of its workforce consists of former military personnel. Not only do many still serve in the Guard and Reserves, but they also contribute to the airline’s success. Furthermore, Delta provides strong support for veterans and their families through various programs. Consequently, it ensures they receive the recognition and opportunities they deserve.

Ultimately, through these flights, Delta Air Lines keeps the legacy of D-Day heroes alive. It preserves history, educates young minds, and supports military families. Therefore, the airline continues to honor those who fought for freedom.
