President Donald Trump is praising Delta Air Lines for “embracing MAGA” after an internal manual update referenced “Gulf of America” and “Notice to Airmen,” changes Delta says reflect FAA direction rather than politics.
Delta has indicated the language reflects regulatory direction and standardization rather than a political statement, pointing to FAA mandates for terminology harmonization in company publications.
This appears to be a documentation update that intersected with politics. Delta’s operational focus is compliance and clarity for crews. The broader debate over terminology will continue, but I would not read too much into this particular change.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
