As the official airline of the 60th Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR), Delta Air Lines marked its centennial year with a commanding presence at one of Boston's most iconic annual events - underscoring the airline's enduring commitment to the city as a key global hub and community partner.
"Delta is honored to support the Head of the Charles Regatta and celebrate our deep roots in Boston," said Candice Stover, General Manager, New England Sales. "Because of the partnerships we've built and the connections we've grown over the past century, we are built for Boston-and ready for the next century of flight."

The centerpiece of the experience, the Delta Row x Wing Club, showcased a premium, aviation-inspired environment along the Charles River. Designed to reflect the precision of rowing and the spirit of flight, the space featured curated elements that paid tribute to Boston's cultural heritage and Delta's 100-year journey. A visually striking Legacy Wall highlighted milestones in Delta's Boston story - from its first flight into the city in 1933 to its current role as a global connector with more than 2,000 Massachusetts-based employees.

Guests explored immersive installations that showcased Delta's impact in the region, including partnerships with Boston Children's Hospital and Greater Boston Food Bank, and celebrated the airline's role in positioning Boston as a key global gateway.
This year, Delta also deepened its community commitment by announcing a $25,000 gift to the YMCA of Greater Boston to fund swim safety programs, helping more than 165 local children build lifesaving water skills and inspire future participation in aquatic sports and recreation. To mark the occasion, 25 students from Boston's Hurley School joined YMCA instructors at the Charles River for an introduction to rowing at one of the world's most celebrated rowing venues.

Delta's presence at HOCR underscored its role not only as a transportation leader but as a community stakeholder deeply invested in Boston's growth and vibrancy. As the airline celebrates 100 years of service, its commitment to Boston remains stronger than ever - connecting the city to the world while honoring the people and institutions that make it exceptional.
