ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines and New York, NY-based Shake Shack have forged a partnership to bring the fast-casual chain’s burgers to the carrier’s passengers. Beginning on Dec. 1, Delta will serve cheeseburgers from Shake Shack on flights out of Boston and plans to continue expanding the offering to other US markets throughout 2025. First class customers on routes over 900 miles will be able to pre-select a Shake Shack burger as their meal option.

“A delicious cheeseburger is an iconic comfort food – our customers know that which is why burgers are one of the top ordered menu items we offer, and we’re thrilled to elevate the offering with Shake Shack,” said Stephanie Laster, managing director of Onboard Service. “However, our partnership with Shake Shack goes beyond the burger. Shake Shack’s people-first culture and commitment to enriching their neighborhoods are spot on with our own brand values of service excellence and helping the communities we serve.”

The in-flight meal comes with chips, a Caesar salad and a brownie from the dessert menu. The cheeseburger is made with an Angus beef patty, topped with cheese and served on a toasted potato bun. Passengers can customize their burger with toppings that include tomato, lettuce and Shake Shack’s ShackSauce, all served on the side.

“At Shake Shack, we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to meet our guests where they are, even at 35,000 feet,” said Michael Kark, president of Global Licensing at Shake Shack. “Taking our beloved cheeseburger to new heights, Shake Shack is proud to partner with Delta as we elevate the in-flight dining and hospitality experience for travelers across the country.”

Customers have the option to make and edit their entrée selection up to 24 hours in advance using the Fly Delta app or a link in their email, starting seven days before departure.

The collaboration between Delta and Shake Shack builds on Delta’s longstanding relationship with Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) and Danny Meyer, founder and executive chairman of USHG, who also founded Shake Shack. Meals from Union Square Events, USHG’s catering arm, are available on select Delta flights out of JFK.
