Delta Airlines

Delta Airlines powers commercial passenger transport, operating Flight 175 from Chicago's gates to Kennedy International Airport. Boarding announcements crackle with urgency, propelling Josh through grief-stricken farewell with Bartlet—father's death clashing against primary victory. Flight attendants manage passenger flow amid reporters and security shadows, gate controls enforcing irrevocable departure, transforming airport limbo into airborne isolation that fuels political resolve and mentor-protégé fracture.
