Ama-1950s wabona i-Delta yakha uhlelo lwe-hub-and-talk, lapho abagibeli belethwa khona esikhumulweni sezindiza futhi badluliselwa ezindaweni zabo zokugcina. Iphinde iveze uphawu lwezithonjana ze-Widget futhi luthumele isevisi ye-jet-DC.
Ngama-1960, i-delta yasungula inkonzo ye-Convair 880 ne-DC-9, yahamba indiza yokuqala ixhuma i-Atlanta naseLos Angeles futhi yaqalisa uhlelo lokubhuka lwe-SABER.

Umthwali wezinkampani unesigungu esikhulu kunazo zonke se-in-house meteorology - 25 eqinile - emhlabeni. Lezi zimeteorologist zinikeza ukubikezela okuphelele, okuningiliziwe okusiza izindiza zenze izinqumo ezithinta ukusebenza kwemikhumbi yomhlaba jikelele.
