ATLANTA—Pilots at Delta Air Lines easily approved a new contract that will raise their pay by more than 30 percent over four years and likely lead to similar agreements covering union pilots at other major U.S. airlines.

The Air Line Pilots Association said 78 percent of Delta pilots who voted supported the contract. Delta has about 15,000 pilots.
