Delta Air Lines
President Glen Hauenstein, who propelled the carrier to become the industry’s profit leader and championed the airline’s lucrative embrace of travelers willing to spend a little extra for a more luxurious travel experience, is retiring in February.
“Glen and his team have been central to Delta’s premium strategy, as we evolved over two decades to become the airline of choice for travelers who want to invest in great experiences in the air and on the ground,” CEO Ed Bastian said in a note to employees. “I could not have asked for a better co-pilot to help lead Delta in becoming the best performing airline in the world.”
Delta is promoting Joe Esposito, who has been at Delta for 35 years — most recently as senior vice president of network planning, pricing and revenue management — to executive vice president and chief commercial officer.
