How You'll Help Us Keep Climbing (Overview & Key Responsibilities)
The Corporate Real Estate team plays a critical role in shaping how Delta shows up in key spaces that support our operations, people, and customers. The team partners closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to deliver real estate strategy, design and construction initiatives, airport affairs, and facilities experience and maintenance.
Through a mix of large-scale initiatives — such as airport redevelopments at LGA, LAX, and JFK, as well as the design and buildout of Delta Sky Clubs — and smaller, ongoing projects, the Corporate Real Estate team supports both long-term transformation and day-to-day operational needs. Together, this work helps ensure Delta’s spaces consistently reflect the brand, support operations, and deliver a high-quality customer experience.
