US EditionDelta hints at 'basic business,' teases more premium seats
UNITED STATES, JUL 13 – Delta's premium and loyalty revenues rose 5% and 8%, respectively, driving record $15.5 billion Q2 revenue and plans to unbundle business class fares, executives said.
- Last Thursday, Delta Air Lines posted a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, reinstated full-year 2025 guidance, and saw shares jump amid strong financial results.
- Prompted by lower fuel costs, AI-driven pricing, and a shift to premium demand, Delta's revenue growth offset declines in economy class sales.
- Data show Delta's operating revenue hit $16.65 billion, surpassing estimates, with EPS of $2.10 exceeding forecasts despite a 11% dip from last year.
- Following Delta's record profit, its shares jumped 12%, sparking a broad U.S. airline sector rally with major carriers seeing significant gains.
- Delta President Glen Hauenstein aims to have 20% of tickets priced with AI by year-end, with full-year EPS guidance of $5.25–$6.25 and optimism due to low oil prices.
