Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding  

Saudi Arabian Airlines and

their participation in the SkyTeam alliance.

We certainly understand the concerns expressed in your communication and

I appreciate this opportunity to emphasize that Delta Air Lines does not

discriminate nor do we condone discrimination against any of our

customers in regards to age, race, nationality, religion, or gender.  

Additionally, please know Delta does not operate service to Saudi Arabia and does not codeshare with any airline on flights to that country.  

Delta does not intend to codeshare or share reciprocal benefits, such as frequent flier benefits, with Saudi Arabian Airlines, which we have

 confirmed with SkyTeam, an Amsterdam-based 14-member global airline alliance.

Delta's only agreement with Saudi Arabian Airlines is a standard

industry interline agreement, which allows passengers to book tickets on multiple carriers, similar to the standard interline agreements American  Airlines, US Airways and Alaska Airlines have with Saudi Arabian Airlines.  All of the three global airline alliances - Star, which

includes United Airlines; oneworld, which includes American Airlines,

and SkyTeam, which includes Delta - have members that fly to Saudi

Arabia and are subject to that country's rules governing entry.

We appreciate the time you have taken to share this feedback.

Sincerely,

Selastin P. Xavier

Coordinator, Customer Care
