Delta Air Lines is the United States's largest airlines. In terms of passengers flown per year, it is the largest airline in the world thanks to its merger with Northwest Airlines in October 2008. Delta flies to more destinations worldwide than any other airline.
Due to declining demand to service from the U.S. to Mexico, presumably from the swine flu outbreak, Delta announced that it will be reducing flights to Mexico on May 1, 2009.The Associated Press: US carriers cutting service to Mexico (May 1, 2009) -
