A Hundred Years of Safety: Delta debuts new onboard safety video featuring pieces of its history

As Delta celebrates its 100th year of flight, the airline is debuting a new safety video this April that is sure to capture customers’ attention with nods to its history, while providing clear, easy-to-follow instructions and demonstrations of today’s safety procedures.

The new video – ‘A Hundred Years of Safety’ – was inspired by Delta’s rich history and takes customers on a journey through the decades of air travel, starting in the 1920s, featuring 11 Delta logos and 10 employees wearing historically accurate pilot stylings and flight attendant uniforms, provided by archivists from the Delta Flight Museum. Delta loyalists will also be pleased to see a special cameo of the iconic ‘Deltalina’ from the airline’s 2008 safety video amid the many cultural references.

“These quintessential uniforms and references not only demonstrate just how much has changed throughout the last 100 years of air travel – including habits, fashion and culture – but that Delta’s commitment to safety has always been our top priority,” said Maya Dukes, Managing Director of Global Brand Strategy, Creative and Social. “Our safety video is viewed by hundreds of thousands of customers every day from all walks of life, so it’s the perfect creative venue to honor our history and people while captivating the attention of customers as they prepare for takeoff.”
