Delta is extending benefits for mileage plan members unable to travel because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Coronavirus has been a massive disruption for the travel industry, as government and health officials restrict travel and and urge people stay home. A $50 billion airline bailout package from the US government is expected to help, but industry executives still anticipate lower demand for air travel for quite some time.
Delta (DAL) is the first major airline to announce extensions to its mileage programs, meant to reassure customers that their travel perks will still be there once fears and risks surrounding the outbreak have subsided.
“As coronavirus continues to dramatically impact travel across the globe, you don’t have to worry about your benefits -— they’ll be extended so you can enjoy them when you are ready to travel again,” Sandeep Dube, Delta’s senior vice president for customer engagement and loyalty, said in a statement Sunday.
