Delta Air Lines offers the 'SkyWish Charity Program,' which allows customers of its 'SkyMiles' mileage program to donate miles to non-profit organizations. The non-profit partners of SkyWish exchange the donated miles for award tickets on Delta or its partner airlines to use for their activities abroad. In the year 2025, the total number of miles donated to five Japan-based organizations reached 4,990,035.

This program has been utilized by many schools as part of their social contribution education during school trips and study tours. Since the merger of Delta Air Lines and the former Northwest Airlines in 2009, which integrated their respective programs, the total number of students who have donated miles up to 2025 is 11,881, with a cumulative total of 83,326,185 miles.

Among them, Shukutoku Yono High School and Miyagi Meisen Gakuen have been long-standing contributors, with students donating miles earned from their study tours to SkyWish partner organizations. In 2025, 195 students from Shukutoku Yono High School donated 936,780 miles to 'JHP - Japan Team of Young Human Power,' and 74 students from Miyagi Meisen Gakuen donated 495,796 miles to the 'Make-A-Wish of Japan Foundation.'

Akinori Yokozawa, Director of Sales for Japan at Delta Air Lines, presented a plaque of appreciation for last year's donation at Shukutoku Yono High School, stating, 'As an airline that connects the world, our mission is to 'connect' people and communities. We at Delta Air Lines are extremely proud to be involved in this wonderful activity, connecting Japanese NPOs with schools and students who have a strong desire for international contribution.'
