DETROIT, MI - Anyone who takes a Delta flight in the month of August will be roundly greeted by the Motor City.

Delta Air Lines, which has a major hub at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, features Detroit heavily in the latest issue of its glossy, in-flight magazine Sky.

With Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera on the cover, the publication declares, "Game on, Detroit," with a smaller title, "Seizing Opportunity in America's Motor City."

The August issue features interviews with Gov. Rick Snyder and Mayor Mike Duggan, as well as commentary from the Detroit Free Press' Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Stephen Henderson. Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson kicks things off with an editorial titled, "Detroit's Remarkable Turnaround."

You don't need to fly Delta to check out the full spread, which also includes bits on Detroit nightlife and entertainment options: This link includes a digital version of the magazine.

Based in Atlanta, Delta and its airline partners annually fly some 165 million customers to 333 destinations in 64 countries. DTW is one of nine Delta hubs throughout the world.
