SEATTLE — Delta Air Lines inc. is going to start serving Seattle’s best Coffee on its domestic and international flights beginning next month. The deal between the two companies gives a boost to Delta’s customer service, while providing Seattle’s best with another outlet for its products. The coffee will be served on Delta and Delta Connection flights, effective March 1. Seattle’s best Coffee, a part of coffee chain Starbucks Corp., has other agreements in place with companies such as Burger King, Subway and AMC Theatres. Starbucks reported in late January that its first-quarter net income climbed nearly 44 percent, helped by its popularity with coffee drinkers around the globe. Earlier this month a Delta executive said the airline will continue to raise fares and trim its growth plans if jet fuel prices remain high. Shares of Delta Air Lines gained 30 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $11.85 in midday trading, while Starbucks’ stock rose 59 cents to $32.94.
