Delta Airlines Suspends Employees Over Celebration of Charlie Kirk’s Death

Delta Airlines has suspended several employees after a video surfaced showing them celebrating the reported death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, sparking widespread backlash online.

The airline confirmed the suspensions in a statement, describing the conduct of the employees as “unprofessional and inconsistent with the values of Delta Airlines.” The company emphasized that while it respects the personal views of its staff, public displays that appear to mock or celebrate the death of any individual “will not be tolerated.”

The controversy erupted after footage circulated on social media showing a group of Delta employees allegedly applauding and laughing while discussing Kirk’s death. The video quickly went viral, prompting strong reactions from political figures, advocacy groups, and Delta customers.

Supporters of Kirk have condemned the behavior as disrespectful and politically charged.

Delta has not disclosed how many employees were suspended or whether further disciplinary action, including terminations, could follow. The airline added that an internal investigation is ongoing.
