Delta Air Lines Says It Will Suspend Special Services for Congress Members - The New York Times

Delta Air Lines announced it will suspend special boarding and customer service privileges previously extended to members of Congress. The airline had historically offered congressional delegates expedited check-in, priority boarding, and dedicated customer service representatives as a courtesy to federal lawmakers. The decision represents a shift in corporate policy toward elected officials and underscores growing tension between major U.S. corporations and Congress over political disputes and regulatory scrutiny. Delta's move reflects broader corporate recalibration in how companies engage with federal lawmakers amid partisan polarization. The suspension affects perks that have been standard industry practice for decades.
