How Many Passengers Fly Delta Each Year?
Delta’s most current top-line volume statement is that it served more than 200 million customers in 2025. Because airlines sometimes report “customers,” “passengers,” or “enplanements” differently depending on context, the key is consistency: this is Delta’s own year-level statement for 2025 and is best used as the headline scale metric.
For historical context, Delta previously reported 200 million passengers in 2019 and 70 million passengers in 2020 during the pandemic downturn (older annual report PDF figures).
