IN February, some Delta passengers who were rushing to make their connecting flight at Los Angeles Airport (LAX) were pleased to find a Porsche 911 GT3 RS revving and waiting to ferry them to their connecting flight. Kitted with a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six producing 518 horses, passengers were not only assured of getting to their next flight quickly but also in style.
This wasn’t the first time Delta utilised one of Porsche’s performance machines to shuttle passengers between its jets at some of its hubs. Last August, Porsche loaned a 918 Spyder to the US airline for a two-week period to transfer customers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).
