History of Delta Hubs
Delta has carried passengers since 1929.
Founded in 1924 as Huff-Daland Dusters, Inc., the airline at first operated exclusively as a crop-dusting service.
So how did Delta acquire so many airport hubs over time?
By inheriting some of them from other airlines it merged with or took over.
The carrier also inherited both Los Angeles and Salt Lake City from its 1986 merger with now-defunct Western Airlines.
