After much anticipation and unofficial vote tallying over the past few months the wait is finally over.
Beginning this Saturday, Delta will serve Coca-Cola products onboard all Delta, Delta Connection and Northwest Airlines flights. We’re looking forward to continuing our 80 year partnership with Coca-cola. Learn more about our new airplane christenings and about our longstanding relationship with the global brand at the Coca-Cola Conversations blog and from posts by our own Marie Force.
We hope you’re as excited about the big news as we are.
Enjoy!

This is one thing I will miss about Northwest. Getting Mountain Dew at 35000ft. Why Delta can’t stock both Coke and Pepsi products like American is beyond me.

Booooo I want Pepsi

Now how about dumping Canada Too Dry and getting us some Schweppervescence?

See I disagree I love Coke yes I will miss Moutain Dew but sprite is fine. I definetly prefer Coke over pepsi it has such better products. They can’t serve both product because cake probably stated in there contract that they can’t. It is not always the airlines choice.

Pretty pleased with the selection.. just make sure that there is always plenty of Coke Zero on board! I will take it over Diet Coke any day, and it always seems like it is the first thing to run out on the trans-con flights!

I loved flying NWA as a Platinum Elite, multi-million mile WorldPerks member. The employees made it the best and the Platinum program was great! I have to admit I have been concerned about the transition to Delta/SkyMiles and whether a good run has ended for my air travel experiences. Some changes to “my” new frequent flyer program sound good. A very few sound bad. Some sound uncertain. So, I am delighted to see positive changes. I know this sounds silly but bring on the Coca-Cola! Great change.

I also prefer Coca-Cola products and am happy about Delta’s decision.
Of course people and their preferences are different.
I agree with randy.cravens and also hope that there will be enough Coke Zero onboard Delta flights.
I am glad that it is served at all because my taste buds like it much better than Diet Coke.

Seriously? Delta without Coca-Cola would be almost sacreligious! The two companies — both headquartered in Atlanta — have been partners for more than 80 years. Along with Home Depot, another Coca-Cola partner, they are shining lights of Atlanta as a world-class business city. Delta’s first DC-3 was christened not with champagne, but with a bottle of Coca-Cola. Finding a Pepsi aboard a Delta jet would be akin to walking in to McDonald’s to find Coke replaced by Pepsi. It would just be plain wrong. Delta is one of those partnerships that Coca-Cola will always do everything in it’s power to keep. Pepsi on a Delta flight? Ummm … no. Yuck.
