Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
 
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Delta Air Lines, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2008 related to Delta’s merger with Northwest Airlines Corporation (“Northwest”).
 
This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K to file a corrected version of the notes to audited balance sheets of Northwest as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of common stockholders’ equity (deficit) of Northwest for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  A portion of note 7 was inadvertently omitted from Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 8-K.  The specified financial statements and the notes related thereto are therefore being filed in their entirety to include the omitted portion of note 7.
 
This Form 8-K/A also amends the Form 8-K to include the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K and to include an exhibit under Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.
 
The information previously reported in the Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K/A, except to the extent such information is amended by this Form 8-K/A.
