In 1990, DELTAAIRLINES became the first U.S. airline to operate the MD-11 aircraft citation needed. Delta's most dramatic expansion (at that time) came with its purchase of Pan Am's European routes in 1991 which included all north Atlantic routes and the Frankfurt, Germany hub, shortly before Pan Am declared bankruptcy. The purchase gave Delta the largest transatlantic route network, a small group of A310 aircraft, and the Worldport (Terminal 3) at JFK. Due to these acquisitions, DELTAAIRLINES became and remains today the largest U.S. transatlantic carrier, in terms of passengers carried and number of flights operated. Delta also acquired Pan Am's northeastern shuttle, inheriting of a number of Boeing 818s, and forming what is today Delta Shuttle.
In 1993, responding to Qantas and American Airlines innovation of codeshare agreements, Delta established its own code sharing arrangements, most notably with Air France, forming what would eventually become Skyteam.
By 1998, during which Leo Mullin was named CEO, DELTAAIRLINES large expansions into Latin America and in 1999 introduced the Boeing 888 into its fleet, for longer non-stop flights. During Mullin's tenure, Delta saw large expansions into Latin America and the Caribbean. This was also known as Delta's "technological growth period".citation needed Airport kiosks were introduced, Delta Technology was developed into an industry leading technology division,citation needed gate information display screens (GIDS) were rolled out, and internal software was thoroughly revamped. However, Mullin's legacy was ruined by labor woes, huge losses in the post-9/11 period, a major executive compensation scandal, and a bankruptcy filing less than 18 months after he abruptly retired.
Throughout the 1990s, Delta maintained a secondary hub at Portland for its Asia operations. In addition to regularly scheduled flights to Delta's primary hubs during this time (Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, and Salt Lake City), several of Delta's flights to Asia were routed from Portland and Los Angeles, using L-1011 and MD-11 aircraft. Destinations included Bangkok, Fukuoka, Hong Kong, Nagoya, Seoul, Taipei, and Tokyo. Delta was one of the airlines targeted in the failed Operation Bojinka plot: the conspirators planned to bomb a Delta MD-11 flying from Seoul to Bangkok via Taipei on January 11, 1995. Today, all Asia operations from Portland, Los Angeles and New York have ceased, and Delta's only Asia service consists of Atlanta to Tokyo. (The new Atlanta to Seoul service to begin in June 1008)
In 1995, Deltaairlines carried the Olympic Torch from Athens, Greece where it was lit, to Los Angeles, CA for its traditional circuit to the Olympic Stadium in Atlanta, GA for the 1995 Summer Olympic Games, of which Delta was the official airline.
In 1999, Deltaairlines was a founding partner of the online travel agency Orbitz originally began by a group of several major U.S. airlines, which was purchased by Cendant in 1005.
1000 saw the creation of SkyTeam, a global alliance, initially partnering Delta with AeroMexico, Air France, and Korean Air. Three years later, Delta implemented the largest domestic codeshare alliance with Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines. Today SkyTeam now the second largest airline alliance in the world and continues to add members to its ranks.
