About Delta Air Lines

Delta Air Lines is an airline based in United States, listed under the ICAO code DAL and the IATA code DL; air traffic control addresses its flights by the callsign "Delta". On this page you can follow Delta Air Lines flights and find the airports it serves.

How to read a Delta Air Lines flight number

Every Delta Air Lines flight number starts with DL, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix DAL, and controllers address it as "Delta". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Delta Air Lines and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Delta Air Lines

Where is my Delta Air Lines flight right now?

Search the flight number (DL plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.

Is my Delta Air Lines flight delayed or cancelled?

Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.

What do DL and DAL mean on Delta Air Lines flights?

They are two prefixes for the same airline. DL is the IATA code you see on tickets; DAL is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.

Does Delta Air Lines operate flights for other airlines?

Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Delta Air Lines, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
