Delta Board of Directors Names Tom Donilon
as Newest Member
ATLANTA, Feb. 20, 2015 – Delta Air Lines’ (NYSE:

vice chair of the international law firm of O’Melveny & Myers.
Prior to rejoining O’Melveny in 2014, Donilon served in the
administration of President Barack Obama, most recently as national security advisor. In that capacity, he oversaw the U.S. National
Security Council staff, chaired the cabinet-level National Security Principals Committee, and was responsible for the coordination
and integration of the administration’s foreign policy, intelligence and military efforts. Donilon also served as the president’s
personal emissary to a number of world leaders. Donilon has worked closely with and advised three U.S. presidents.
“Tom brings unparalleled expertise and insight into global
security and strategic matters to Delta,” said Daniel A. Carp, Delta’s non-executive chairman of the board. “With
his talent, knowledge and experience, he is a great addition to Delta’s board of directors.”
Donilon is a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations,
a non-resident senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, a distinguished
fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, an honorary trustee at the Brookings Institution and a member of the Aspen Strategy
Group, the Trilateral Commission, the Center on Global Energy Policy Advisory Board at Columbia University, the U.S. Defense Policy
Board and the Central Intelligence Agency’s External Advisory Board.
Donilon received his undergraduate degree from Catholic University
and his law degree from the University of Virginia.
