Delta Air Lines Unit Manufacturing Face Shields
Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) has redeployed an internal manufacturing unit usually used to explore ways to make the airline run more efficiently to make face shields for hospital workers battling the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
The airline, which has grounded more than 600 planes and cut more than half of its schedule as travel demand has evaporated, said its Delta Flight Products subsidiary is working with a nonprofit affiliated with Georgia Institute of Technology to make the shields.
Using materials and designs provided by the nonprofit organization, Delta's unit expects to manufacture and deliver an initial 2,000 shields to workers in New York by today and another 4,000 for Atlanta-area hospitals in the days to come.
