Delta Air Lines to pamper workers with airport spa
With record profits to spend, the nation’s airlines may be joining Silicon Valley’s tech giants in pampering their employees with the kind of luxuries reserved for top executives.
Starting next month, Delta Air Lines will open three airport “sky spas†where employees can get discounted massages, manicures, pedicures, hair styling, makeup treatments and uniform alterations.
The airline justifies the new luxury by saying happy employees mean happy customers.
“When our employees feel great, it’s reflected in the experience they provide our customers,†said Allison Ausband, Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight service.
The first employee spa is scheduled to open next month in Salt Lake City, with locations in Atlanta and Detroit opening next year.
