Provence & Côte d'Azur: Delta Air Lines helps National Breast Cancer Awareness month celebrate its 25th anniversary

Delta Air Lines 'Pink Plane' heads for Nice

Throughout the month of October, Delta Air Lines is doing its bit to help raise funds for cancer, flying its unique 'pink plane' to European and US cities. Employees will also don pink uniforms, and pink champagne will be served onboard, all to support the ongoing fight against breast cancer.

Delta's international 'pink plane,' a Boeing 767-400, departed New York and arrived in Nice this morning. The aircraft will make many international journeys by the end of October, to destinations including Italy, Spain, Germany and the United States.

The aircraft features BCRF's (Breast Cancer Research Fund) trademark pink ribbon logo on the tail of the aircraft and adjacent to the boarding door.  The special plane has carried nearly 150,000 passengers and flown approximately 104 trips around the world, since being painted pink in May 2010. 

All proceeds made will go towards the Breast Cancer Research Fund.
