"Delta Airlines Introduces New Boarding Groups in Updated Process"
Delta Air Lines is updating its boarding process by transitioning to numbered zones from May 1, simplifying the boarding experience for both customers and employees. The airline will use zones 1 through 8 to reflect existing groups, aiming to add clarity and improve the overall gate experience. This change may make it easier for infrequent travelers and those facing language barriers to understand the boarding process, while also aligning with the practices of joint venture and international partners. The impact on boarding speed remains to be seen, as airlines continually seek ways to trim boarding times and maximize efficiency.
