Unifi Aviation, LLC is the largest aviation ground handling services in North America.[1] Unifi was formed late 2018, after Delta Air Lines sold a stake of its subsidiary, DAL Global Services, to Argenbright Holdings. Unifi is jointly owned by Argenbright, who owns 51% of the company and Delta, who owns 49%.[2]

In February 2020, the company rebranded as Unifi.[3] Unifi provides services such as aircraft ground handling, ground support equipment maintenance, cargo handling, security and janitorial. The company operates in around 200 locations and employs over 20,000 people.[2]

In August 2023, a lawsuit was filed against Unifi by a passenger who witnessed its employee commit suicide on the job in June 2023 by placing himself to be sucked into the engine of a Delta Air Lines plane at San Antonio International Airport.[4] The aggrieved states she witnessed the employee getting torn apart by the engine. It is noted that the deceased had given a suicide note to his supervisor prior to the incident.[1]
