Delta Airlines Faces Scrutiny Over Alleged MAGA Affiliation Amid Market Reaction
Delta Air Lines (DAL) shares rose over 1% in early trading following a social media post by former President Donald TRUMP suggesting the airline had embraced his MAGA movement. The post referenced an internal memo allegedly reverting to the term "Notice to Airman" from the more inclusive "Notice to Air Missions," sparking speculation about a political shift.
The rally contrasts with Delta's February stance, when it defended its diversity initiatives as competitors like Target and Amazon rolled back DEI policies. Market observers note the sensitivity of corporate positioning in an election year, though no official policy changes from Delta have been confirmed.
