Delta Air Lines drops health insurance surcharge for unvaccinated employees

Delta Air Lines ended its $200 monthly health insurance surcharge for unvaccinated employees, CEO Ed Bastian said during an earnings call April 13. 

Delta dropped the insurance surcharge this month. The policy was announced in August 2021 and took effect in November 2021.  

"We've dropped as of this month the additional insurance surcharge given the fact that we really do believe that the pandemic has moved to a seasonal virus," Mr. Bastian said during the call. "Any employees that haven't been vaccinated will not be paying extra insurance costs going forward."

More than 95 percent of Delta's 75,000 employees have been vaccinated, according to CNBC
