Comair joined Delta in filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2005 and in emerging in April 2007. The Comair fleet has been reduced as part of Delta's overall reorganization.

Large investors are pressing for a merger of Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. The Associated Press reported from New York that a hedge fund which advocates a combining of the two airlines has taken its case to major shareholders of the two companies in search of support. That presentation was led by former Continental Airlines CEO Gordon Bethune, who is an adviser to hedge fund Pardus Capital Management LP. The agenda “included talks on how to save the U.S. airline business but the focus was on consolidating the Atlanta-based Delta and the Chicago-based United.” The AP reported. Pardus holds about 2.5 percent of Delta's shares and about 4.8 percent of United’s, it said.
