WASHINGTON—Delta Air Lines will raise pay by 4 percent for nearly all its employees globally effective May 1, according to a company memo seen by Reuters.

A company spokeswoman, who confirmed the increase, said it would be received by about 75,000 employees, but that it would not apply to pilots, who are covered under a union contract, and some others including senior-level executives.
