Exhibit 31.1
I, Richard H. Anderson, certify that:
1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
covered by this report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows of Delta as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
4. Delta’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)) for Delta and have:
(a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls
and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information
relating to Delta, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
(b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
(c) Evaluated the effectiveness of Delta’s disclosure controls and procedures and
presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
and
(d) Disclosed in this report any change in Delta’s internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during Delta’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Delta’s internal control over
financial reporting; and
5. Delta’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation
of internal control over financial reporting, to Delta’s auditors and the Audit Committee of
Delta’s Board of Directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
(a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
Delta’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
(b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in Delta’s internal control over financial reporting.
