Delta employees are set to get a nice boost just in time for Valentine's Day.

The Atlanta-based airline announced that it will share $1.4 billion of its 2024 profits with its workers.

The move is part of Delta's centennial celebration.

"Every day, Delta people prove themselves to be difference makers in this industry," CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement. "I’m proud to recognize their unmatched professionalism, teamwork and dedication to excellence with one of our strongest profit sharing years in Delta’s history."  

Eligible employees will receive an estimated payout of 10% of their eligible earnings, which amounts to an average of five weeks in additional pay.

"This year’s profit sharing payout is a testament to the hard work of Delta people," said Chief People Officer Allison Ausband. "They recognize that our commitment to safety and world-class service builds trust with our customers – who in turn reward Delta with their loyalty." 

Delta, which has 100,000 employees, has paid out $10 billion to its employees through its profit-sharing program in the last decade.
