[LETTERHEAD OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP]
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Administrative Committee of
Delta Air Lines, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with fund information of the DELTA FAMILY-CARE SAVINGS PLAN (the "Plan") as of
June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits with fund information, for the years then ended. These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of the Administrative Committee of Delta Air Lines, Inc. in its capacity as
administrator of the Plan. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the
accompanying table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for benefits with fund information and the statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits
- 3 -
<PAGE> 4
with fund information is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

DELTA FAMILY-CARE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Delta Family-Care Savings Plan (the
"Plan") provides only general information regarding the Plan as in effect
on June 30, 1997. This document is not part of the summary plan
description of the Plan and is not a document pursuant to which the Plan
is maintained within the meaning of Section 402 (a)(1) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Participants
should refer to the plan document for a complete description of the Plan's
provisions. To the extent not specifically prohibited by statute or
regulation, Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta" or the "Company") reserves the
right to unilaterally amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time and
such changes may be applied to all Plan participants and their
beneficiaries regardless of whether the participant is actively working or
retired at the time of the change.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by the Company. Active
Delta personnel who have completed 12 consecutive months of employment and
are either paid on the United States domestic payroll or employed in the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are eligible to participate in the Plan.
Participation may begin on the first day of the first pay period following
eligibility. The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA.
The responsibility for operation and administration of the Plan (except
for investment management and control of assets) is vested in the
Administrative Committee of the Company. The Benefit Funds Investment
Committee (the "BFIC") of the board of directors is responsible for
investment management and control of assets of the Plan. However, the Plan
allows a participant to exercise control over the assets in his account
(except the Preferred Stock Fund) and is intended to qualify as a plan
described in Section 404(c) of ERISA and Federal Regulation 2550.404(c) -
1. The BFIC has appointed outside investment managers and a trustee to
manage assets of the Plan. The BFIC evaluates the performance of the
investment managers and the trustee. The investment managers and the
trustee are authorized to purchase and sell securities subject to certain
investment restrictions determined by the BFIC.
The trustee and recordkeeping functions of the Plan are performed by
Fidelity Management Trust Company (the "Trustee") and Fidelity
Institutional Retirement Services Company (the "Recordkeeper"),
respectively. The Recordkeeper is responsible for maintaining appropriate
records of investment transactions, participant account balances, and,
under the direction of the Administrative Committee, distributions from
participants' accounts.

<PAGE> 14
CONTRIBUTIONS
Eligible nonpilot personnel who are not based in Puerto Rico and who had
gross earnings (as defined in the Plan) of less than $55,000 in the
previous calendar year may contribute up to 15% of their earnings to the
Plan. Eligible nonpilot personnel who had gross earnings of $55,000 or
more in the previous calendar year and Puerto Rico based personnel may
contribute up to 10% of their gross earnings to the Plan; provided,
however, that if an employee had been eligible to contribute at the rate
of 15% in a prior year because his or her earnings were less than $55,000,
he or she is eligible to remain at a maximum contribution percentage of
15% of earnings. See Note 11 for discussion of plan amendments effective
after the plan year end.
For the plan year ended June 30, 1996, eligible pilot personnel may
contribute up to 6% of their gross earnings to the Plan. Effective July 1,
1996, Delta amended the Plan to increase the maximum contribution
percentage for highly compensated pilots to 7% from 6% and nonhighly
compensated pilots to 10% from 6%; provided that a pilot's total
contributions to the Plan for a calendar year may not exceed the then
current limit under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code. This
amendment also provided that, effective January 1, 1997, the
Administrative Committee would be allowed to determine whether the
contribution percentage for highly compensated pilots may be changed for
each subsequent plan year to a percentage that is at least 7% but no more
than 10% of eligible earnings. Employee contributions may be made, at the
option of the employee, as pretax contributions or after-tax
contributions, or as a combination of both pretax and after-tax
contributions.
Delta contributes $.50 to a participant's account for every $1 contributed
by the participant, up to 2% of the participant's annual earnings. In
accordance with federal law, an employee's annual gross earnings in excess
of specified levels are not considered for purposes of determining how
much the employee or Delta may contribute to the Plan. Moreover, there are
other limits imposed by federal law which may limit the amount of pretax,
after-tax, or employer contributions that may be made on behalf of a
participant.
Beginning October 1, 1989, the first $1,000 (increased by $50 per plan
year) of Delta's contributions to a participant's account (the "Annual
Cap") is invested in Delta's Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock
("Preferred Stock"), and Delta's Common Stock ("Common Stock") (Note 7).
The remainder, if any, of Delta's contributions to a participant's account
during a plan year will be invested in the other plan funds (Note 2) in
the same proportion as the participant directs for his or her own
contributions; provided, however that Delta's matching contributions in
excess of the Annual Cap shall be made in Common Stock for noncollectively
bargained, highly compensated employees, as determined under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended.
VESTING
Participants are immediately vested in all contributions to their
accounts, plus actual earnings thereon.
- 14 -
<PAGE> 15
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan's participants to
reflect the participant's contributions and related employer matching
contributions as well as the participant's share of the Plan's income and
any related administrative expenses. Allocations of this income and
expense are based on the proportion that each participant's account
balance bears to the total of all participant account balances. Income
from participant loans is not subject to this allocation.
ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTIONS
Upon retirement or eligibility for long term disability, a participant's
non-ESOP account balance may be distributed in the form of monthly
installments which continue over the participant's life expectancy. The
life expectancy is calculated based on the participant's age at
retirement, date of long term disability, or, if distribution is deferred,
the date the request for distribution is processed. The monthly
installment payments are based on (a) the amount remaining in the
participant's account; (b) the investment gains and losses on the
investment options in which the participant's account was invested during
the year; and (c) life expectancy actuarial factors. However, a
participant may elect a different form of retirement benefit, such as a
single-sum cash payment, cash payments in monthly variable installments
for a definite period not to exceed life expectancy, or variable monthly
installments to be paid over the life expectancy of the participant and
the participant's spouse. A participant's ESOP account balance may be
distributed as a lump-sum payment in cash or Common Stock, at the
participant's election, when distribution of the non-ESOP portion of the
account begins.
Upon termination of employment for reasons other than retirement or
disability, a participant's non-ESOP account balance may be distributed as
a lump-sum cash payment or the participant may elect to defer
distribution. A participant's ESOP account balance may be distributed as a
lump-sum cash payment or in Common Stock, at the participant's election,
when distribution of the non-ESOP portion of the account begins.
A participant, while employed, may elect to withdraw all after-tax
contributions, pre-1989 matching contributions, and the earnings thereon.
Under certain specified hardship circumstances, a participant, while
employed, may also elect to withdraw pretax contributions.
Distributions from the Plan are subject to income taxes, and specified
types of early withdrawals may also be subject to significant tax
penalties.
LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS
Participants may borrow against a portion of their plan account balances.
The loans are repaid, generally through regular payroll deductions, over a
period not to exceed four years. The principal amounts of the loans are
assets of the Plan and earn interest, which represents income to the
borrowing participant, at a fixed rate equal to the average of the secured
loan interest rate and the unsecured loan interest rate of the Delta
Employees' Credit Union at initiation of the loan. This rate fluctuated
between 9.70% and 10.75% during the 1997 and 1996 plan years.

multiples among the investment options available to them, but they could
not allocate more than 50% of their contributions to the Delta Stock Fund.
3. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method
of accounting.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires plan management to use estimates
and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and
disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
INVESTMENTS
Investments (Note 2), except for investment contracts and Preferred Stock,
are stated at market value determined from publicly stated price
information at the end of each day. The Preferred Stock has a stated value
of $72 per share (Note 7). Investments in investment contracts are
presented at cost plus accrued income (contract value). The fair value of
the investment contracts at June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $612,494,000 and
$587,624,000, respectively. The average yields for the Contracts Fund for
the years ending
- 17 -
<PAGE> 18
June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 6.88% and 6.91%, respectively. The crediting
rates for the Contracts Fund for June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 6.02% and
6.87%, respectively.
The fair market values of individual investments that represent 5% or more
of the Plan's total net assets at June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the
applicable number of shares or principal amounts are separately identified
as follows (dollars in thousands):

At June 30, 1997, 10,661 retired participants (or their designated
beneficiaries) were receiving monthly distributions from their accounts or
had elected to defer distribution to a later date.
5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Plan has received a letter of determination dated June 4, 1996 from
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") which states that the Plan, as
amended through June 29, 1995, is in compliance with Section 401(a) and
applicable subsections of Section 409 of the Code, is entitled to an
exemption from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code,
is an employee stock ownership plan with a cash or deferred arrangement
under Section 401(k) of the Code, and satisfies the requirements of
Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. In the opinion of Delta's management, the
Plan as of June 30, 1997 continues to be in compliance with Section
401(a) and applicable subsections of Sections 409, 401(k), and 4975
(e)(7), and continues to be entitled to an exemption from federal income
taxation under Section 501(a); thus, no provision for federal income taxes
has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
- 20 -
<PAGE> 21
6. PLAN TERMINATION
The Plan provides that Delta, at its discretion, may amend or discontinue
the Plan at any time. Plan assets that are held in the Contracts Fund are
subject to certain restrictions which, in the event of plan termination,
may affect the timing and value of participant account distributions. Such
distributions from the Contracts Fund may (a) be made in installments over
a period of one or more years or (b) if distributed in a single sum, incur
a reduction in value. The amount of such a reduction would depend on the
market value adjustments made by each insurance company to the value of
assets distributed from their respective contracts.
7. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
In connection with the establishment of the ESOP in 1989, Delta sold
6,944,450 shares of Preferred Stock to the ESOP trustee for $72 per share,
or approximately $500 million. The ESOP trustee initially financed this
purchase by borrowing $493 million from Delta and approximately $7 million
from a bank.
In 1990, the Plan issued $481.4 million principal amount of its Guaranteed
Serial ESOP notes ("ESOP Notes") to third-party lenders and repaid the
outstanding principal balances of the original loans. The ESOP Notes and
certain related tax indemnities are guaranteed by Delta (Note 8).
The shares of Preferred Stock will be held in the name of the Trustee
until redemption or conversion and may not be sold by the Trustee or
distributed outside the Plan except for resale to Delta. The Preferred
Stock is redeemable at Delta's option, at specified redemption prices
payable, at Delta's election, in cash or Common Stock. Delta is required
to redeem shares of Preferred Stock at any time to enable the Trustee to
provide for distributions to participants.
Each share of Preferred Stock has a stated value of $72; bears an annual
cumulative cash dividend of 6%, or $4.32; is convertible into .8578 shares
of Common Stock (conversion price of $83.94), subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances; has a liquidation preference of $72, plus any
accrued and unpaid dividends; generally votes together as a single class
with the Common Stock on matters upon which the Common Stock is entitled
to vote; and has one vote per share, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. In the event that full cumulative dividends on the
Preferred Stock have not been paid when due, Delta may not pay cash
dividends on its Common Stock.
The Plan provides that shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock
allocated to a participant's account in the Preferred Fund ("Allocated
Shares") and the Common Stock attributable to a participant's account in
the Delta Stock Fund will be voted by the Trustee in accordance with the
participant's confidential voting instructions or, if no voting
instructions are received by the Trustee, such shares will be voted by the
Trustee in its discretion. The Plan further provides that shares of
Preferred Stock not yet allocated to any participant's account will be
voted by the Trustee in proportion to the votes cast with respect to
Allocated Shares for which voting instructions are received.
- 21 -
<PAGE> 22
Unallocated shares of Preferred Stock are held in a separate "Unallocated
Account" of the Plan, pending release and allocation to participants'
accounts. The number of shares of Preferred Stock released from the
Unallocated Account for a plan year will generally be the number of shares
of Preferred Stock held in the Unallocated Account times the ratio that
the amount of principal and interest paid on the ESOP Notes with respect
to such plan year bears to the total amount of principal and interest
remaining to be paid (including payments with respect to such plan year).
Shares are released from the Unallocated Account to a "Holding Account"
upon debt service payments and are then allocated to participants'
accounts as Delta matching contributions and/or dividend income are
received.
Shares of Preferred Stock released from the Unallocated Account (and not
allocated as described in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph)
will be allocated as of the end of each quarter to the accounts of
participants making contributions to the Plan. The number of shares of
Preferred Stock so allocated will be based on a value equal to the higher
of $72 per share or the market value of the shares of Preferred Stock as
defined in the Plan. If during the plan year, the value of the Preferred
Stock released from the Unallocated Account as a result of the repayment
of the ESOP Notes is less than Delta's matching contribution to the Plan
for that year, this difference will be made up by Delta (a) prepaying the
ESOP Notes to release additional shares of Preferred Stock; (b)
contributing cash to the Plan so the Trustee may purchase Common Stock; or
(c) contributing shares of Common Stock to the Plan; in each case, for
allocation to participants' accounts. However, if at the end of the plan
year the value of the Preferred Stock released from the Unallocated
Account as a result of the scheduled repayment of the ESOP Notes during
that plan year is greater than Delta's matching contribution to the Plan
for that plan year, the excess will be divided evenly among all
participants making contributions to the Plan.
The ESOP Notes will be repaid primarily from the Company's contributions
(Note 1) and dividends on the Preferred Stock. If dividends on Allocated
Shares are used to repay the ESOP Notes, additional shares of Preferred
Stock and Common Stock equal in value to such dividends will be allocated
to the accounts of participants who otherwise would have received such
dividends.
As of June 30, 1997, 2,167,204 shares of Preferred Stock with a market
value, as defined, of approximately $156,038,677 had been allocated to
participants' accounts and 4,501,112 shares of Preferred Stock with a
market value, as defined, of approximately $324,080,064 were held in the
Unallocated Account. During the plan year ended June 30, 1997, 70,492
shares of Preferred Stock were redeemed in connection with the payment of
participant benefits.
8. LONG-TERM DEBT
During plan year 1995, the Plan voluntarily prepaid in whole, with funds
provided by Delta, the Plan's 1990 Series A and Series B Guaranteed Serial
ESOP Notes ("Old Notes"), which were guaranteed by Delta. Simultaneously
with the prepayment, the Plan issued to Delta 1994 Series A and Series B
Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes ("New Notes") in a principal amount equal to
the Old Notes that were prepaid. The New Notes have the
- 22 -
<PAGE> 23
same interest rate and final maturity date as the corresponding series
of Old Notes. Other terms of the New Notes are substantially the same
as the corresponding series of Old Notes, except that the New Notes do
not have the benefit of a credit enhancement. The principal amount
outstanding and the other terms of the Plan's Series C ESOP Notes were
not affected by the prepayment of the Old Notes.
At June 30, 1997, the Plan's long-term debt, including current maturities
of $16,146,000, consisted of $394,554,000 aggregate principal amount of
Series C ESOP Notes and New Notes (Note 7) with final maturity dates
ranging from July 1, 1999 to January 1, 2009 and interest rates ranging
from 7.26% to 8.10%. The interest rates on the Series C ESOP Notes and the
New Notes are subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in the
federal income tax laws. Subject to certain restrictions, the Series C

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain of the Plan's investments are shares of mutual funds or interests
in cash reserve accounts managed by the Trustee or affiliates of the
Trustee. Transactions related to such investments qualify as permissible
party-in-interest transactions under ERISA. Fees paid to the Trustee and
the Recordkeeper by the Plan for investment management and recordkeeping
fees totaled $3,063,000 and $4,270,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. Additional fees totaling approximately $3,000 were
paid to the Trustee and Recordkeeper directly by Delta for the plan year
ended June 30, 1996.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As mentioned in Note 1, the Administrative Committee has the power under
the Plan to determine the applicable maximum contribution percentage for
highly compensated pilot employees under the Plan for each plan year. In
accordance with this provision, the Administrative Committee determined
that effective for the plan year that commenced July 1, 1997, pilot
participants who were highly compensated employees (within the meaning of
the Internal Revenue Code) for the previous plan year may contribute to
the Plan a maximum contribution percentage of 10% of earnings.
- 24 -
<PAGE> 25
Effective September 1, 1997, the Plan was amended to provide the following
material changes:
a. Nonpilot participants who are highly compensated employees
(within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code) for the
immediately preceding plan year may contribute to the Plan
for a plan year a maximum contribution percentage of 12% of
earnings. The plan provisions which permitted a participant
to remain at the higher maximum contribution level of 15% if
his earnings went from below $55,000 to above $55,000 was
eliminated.
b. Rollover contributions may be contributed to the Plan by
employees who are hired into a job classification that is
eligible for the Plan, but who have not yet met the Plan's
one-year participation requirement. The rollover contribution
must be made to the Plan before the employee's one-year
waiting period is over.
c. Deferrals or contributions of some or all of the payments
from the Delta Air Lines, Inc. Performance Payment Program,
Delta Air Lines, Inc. Target Profit Sharing Program, Delta
Air Lines, Inc. Leadership Performance Compensation Program,
and Delta Air Lines, Inc. Pilots Profit Sharing Program are
permitted by the Plan upon the election of those
participating in the Plan, provided however, that the
Administrative Committee may, in its discretion, determine a
maximum amount of contribution of such payments from year to
year.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan will be amended to add, as a core
investment option, another investment strategy portfolio, called the
Balanced Fund, and to expand the "Window of Choices" option to a total of
146 mutual funds. In addition, the Conservative Growth Balanced Fund will
be renamed the Conservative Balanced Fund and its investment mix will be
altered, as will the investment mix of the Growth Balanced Fund.
12. RECONCILIATION TO THE FORM 5500
As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Plan had approximately $300,000 and
$271,000, respectively, of pending distributions to participants who
elected to withdraw from the Plan. These amounts are recorded as a
liability in the Plan's Form 5500; however, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles these amounts are not recorded as a
liability in the accompanying statements of net assets.
