“This partnership goes back 60 plus years and what we share as two organizations is a strong focus on customer-centricity and service,” Anthony Cirri, EVP, Head of Global Consumer Lending and CoBrand at American Express told TravelPulse. “We’re grounded in these same core values, which I think makes that partnership great. We’re always looking for ways to kind of continuously innovate within our existing businesses and our joint businesses as well, and that’s what this is right – this is innovation, this is raising the bar in terms of form factors within credit cards and we’re super excited about it.”
In the “Golden Age of Travel,” the iconic 747 was dubbed the “Queen of the Skies.” It’s a plane that triggers nostalgia among many aviation lovers.
American Express and Delta Air Lines decided to honor the legacy of an important piece of aviation history by using the last Delta Boeing 747 aircraft to fly the skies to make such a unique offering for card members.
The specialty card design was created with 25% metal from Delta Ship #6307, a retired Boeing 747-400 that has quite the story. The aircraft provided military transport to service men and women, helped with an evacuation out of Florida during Hurricane Irma and also a flight of Delta volunteers uniting orphans with their new families.
For Delta, it’s just another step in the company’s innovative ways.
