Delta Airline marks annual breast cancer awareness event

As part of its annual campaign in support of Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) Delta Airline has revealed a new look to  mark the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

In line with the event, a Delta  airline’s dedicated ‘Pink Plane’, will be sporting an updated livery in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which started on October 1.


The Boeing 767-400ER aircraft, which features a pink ribbon wrapped around its fuselage and the trademarked Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) pink ribbon logo adjacent to its boarding door, will be flying to destinations across Europe as part of Delta’s annual campaign in support of BCRF.

This year marks Delta’s 11th annual survivor flight, which took place on October 1.  The aircraft carried more than 140 employee breast cancer survivors on board Delta’s newly painted pink plane on the flight’s first international route from New York City to Mexico City.
Across the Atlantic, Delta’s pink plane is also scheduled to fly to cities including: London, Madrid, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Nice over the coming weeks.

Speaking on the development, Delta’s Vice President- in flight service, Sandy Gordon stated: “We are proud to showcase our commitment to a cure on a global scale. Our 80,000 employees worldwide look forward to this campaign each year and rally together to find new, innovative ways to generate awareness and funds for BCRF. We are grateful for our employees and customers for their continued passion and support as we work together to eradicate breast cancer.”
