Message from MLT Vacations

Delta Air Lines and MLT Vacations have begun to implement strategic improvements in the way we work together that will result in an enhanced level of service and support for you, our most important customers. As part of this effort, there will be senior level organizational changes at MLT.
 

I am pleased to announce that John Caldwell, who most recently served as Managing Director National Account Sales and Specialty Sales at Delta, has been named to the position of President of MLT Vacations, combining the President and CEO roles into one. Larry Chestler, current CEO, and Ken Pomerantz, current President, will be leaving MLT Vacations. Larry and Ken have provided outstanding leadership and we wish to thank them for their contributions to MLT Vacations' success.
 

John has served for many years in leadership roles within the sales and marketing organizations first at Northwest and then at Delta. Throughout his career he has had numerous opportunities to collaborate with the marketing and sales teams at MLT to develop and implement successful programs for our travel agent customers in support of our mutual business goals. John will report directly to me, and he is looking forward to building strong relationships with the travel agency community in his new role.
 

Under John's leadership, there will be a thorough evaluation of the organization and business practices in order to identify opportunities to further expand and enhance the successful MLT business model, including identifying opportunities to deliver an even higher level of service and support to you and your clients.
 

MLT Vacations remains committed to the travel agent distribution channel and we are focused on providing you with exceptional customer service, throughout this leadership transition and into the future. There are no changes planned in the way we do business with you, and every effort will be made to make this a seamless transition.

Thank you for your continued business and support. We look forward to sharing exciting updates with you regarding additional business enhancements in the very near future!
 

Regards,
Steve Sear

Senior Vice President, Global Sales
Delta Air Lines
