Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today reported financial results for the June quarter and provided its outlook for the September quarter. “Today, we reported our June quarter results, and it is clear that Delta’s brand and industry position are stronger than ever," said Ed Bastian, Delta's Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered $1.4 billion in pre-tax profit while absorbing the highest quarterly fuel expense in our history, reflecting broad demand strength, growing brand preference and momentum across our diversified revenue base. This industry-leading performance is powered by the best people in the business." Bastian continued, “Delta is executing from a position of strength, and we expect momentum to carry into the second half with double-digit margins and a return to earnings growth. For the full year, we are affirming the guidance we set at the start of the year to grow earnings by 20%, overcoming a multi-billion dollar fuel headwind. This reinforces Delta's durability while positioning us to continue our momentum into 2027.” | | |
