Delta Air Lines Reassures Senators on AI Pricing: No Personalized or Discriminatory Practices

Atlanta, GA – In response to concerns raised by U.S. Senators Gallego, Blumenthal, and Warner about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its dynamic pricing model, Delta Air Lines has issued a comprehensive statement categorically denying any use of personalized or discriminatory pricing practices. Peter Carter, Delta’s EVP and Chief External Affairs Officer, clarified in a letter to the senators that the airline does not, and has no plans to, leverage personal data such as sensitive circumstances or past purchase history to set individualized prices. The airline emphasizes its commitment to fair and transparent pricing, adhering to all applicable privacy, pricing, and advertising laws.

Contrary to speculation, Delta asserts that its AI-powered pricing functionality serves as a decision-support tool for analysts, who retain oversight and fine-tune recommendations to align with the company’s broader business strategy. The AI system analyzes aggregated data to enhance existing pricing processes, offering insights that can lead to price adjustments in both directions, ultimately benefiting both customers through competitive fares and the airline’s overall sales performance. All fares are publicly filed and accessible to all customers based on objective criteria like origin, destination, advance purchase, and length of stay. Customers are not required to log in or provide personal information to compare prices on Delta’s website or app.

Delta’s pricing, like that of other airlines, is influenced by market dynamics, competition, customer demand, route performance, and operational costs. Given the complexity of managing millions of fares and thousands of routes, AI technology offers the potential to streamline data analysis and respond more rapidly to changing market conditions. The airline is currently piloting AI pricing recommendation functionality developed by Fetcherr in select domestic and international markets. This pilot focuses on leveraging AI to aggregate purchasing data, forecast demand, adapt to market fluctuations, and process numerous variables simultaneously, allowing analysts to focus on strategic tasks.

The airline’s partnership with Fetcherr does not involve sharing any personal customer information. Delta emphasizes that the AI-driven recommendations are simply inputs into a broader pricing strategy overseen by human analysts. The goal is to improve efficiency and responsiveness, not to implement discriminatory or predatory pricing tactics. Delta points to its long-standing practice of using optimized pricing and other systems to adjust ticket prices regularly based on market forces.

Beyond pricing, Delta is exploring the use of AI in other areas of its operations. AI-integrated tools are being used to enhance customer service by providing reservations specialists with faster access to information, improving aircraft maintenance prediction and schedule reliability, and optimizing crew scheduling by anticipating replacement needs.

Delta’s commitment to responsible AI implementation is underscored by its comprehensive AI governance framework, which prioritizes safety, security, and customer trust. The airline’s Privacy Policy transparently outlines data handling practices, and specific AI Terms of Use inform customers when they are interacting with AI-powered services. Delta’s core values of ethical conduct and customer loyalty guide all decision-making, ensuring that technological advancements are implemented responsibly and transparently. The airline views AI as a tool to enhance its operations and customer experience while upholding its commitment to fair and transparent business practices.
