Delta Air Lines (Atlanta) and Starbucks Coffee Company (Seattle) have announced Delta will extend existing service of Starbucksยฎ coffee onboard every Delta and Delta Connection flight around the globe. Delta officially began serving Starbucksยฎ Pike Placeยฎ Roast and Starbucks VIAยฎ Ready Brew Italian Roast decaf on its fleet of 1,270 aircraft, starting on February 1. Last year, the airline and its partners operated more than 1.8 million flights, carrying 170 million passengers to 330 destinations in 64 countries worldwide.
Delta initially partnered with Starbucks in 2013 to offer coffee to customers traveling on select cross-country and West Coast Shuttle flights.
Despite the image of the Siren, the brand name comes from Starbuck, a character in the novelย Moby Dick.ย Starbuck was the young chief mate of the Pequod and was a thoughtful Quaker from Nantucket according to Wikipedia.
