Delta posts strong earnings in tough quarter for US

Delta Air Lines reported significantly improved earnings for the first quarter, with adjusted earnings reaching $380 million, up 75% from the previous year and surpassing analysts’ expectations.

Despite a 2% decrease in average revenue per mile flown by passengers, the airline achieved record revenue of $12.6 billion for the period.

Delta foresees record revenue in the second quarter but anticipates thinner profit margins, projecting earnings per share between $2.20 to $2.50, down from the previous year’s $2.64.

However, it maintains its full-year earnings target of $6 to $7 per share. Unlike some competitors affected by Boeing issues, Delta does not currently operate any 737 Max jets and has a diverse fleet.

While the airline industry faces challenges, Delta’s CEO, Ed Bastian, highlights strong demand for future travel, particularly in business travel, CNN reported.
