Delta Air Lines has surpassed all other U.S. carriers in a new poll from Executive Travel Magazine.

The airline was voted "best" in 11 categories this year, an unprecedented feat for a U.S. airline in the magazine's history.

Delta was named Best Domestic Airline, Best Domestic Airline for First-Class Service, Best Domestic Airline for Business-Class Service, Best Airline for Flights to Africa, and Best Airline for Flights to the Caribbean.

It was also rewarded for its services to Central and South America, Mexico, and Western Europe, as well as being named Best Airline for Airport Lounges, Best Airline Customer Service, and Best Frequent Flier Program Domestic.

Ed Bastian, Delta's President and Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Delta employees worldwide are ecstatic that customers, travel agents and industry experts are recognizing our airline for outstanding service and amenities, all the direct result of the commitment to superior customer service we strive to provide to global travelers."

Delta was also named North America's Leading Business-Class Airline at the 2007 Annual World Travel Awards, and came second in the 2007 North America Airline Satisfaction Survey, from Global Traveler magazine.

"These accolades from our customers are a testament to the dedication and determination of our people to transform the travel experience," Bastian added.
