Delta Air Lines CEO, Richard Anderson Despite 1Q loss, Delta is bullish on profitability as it strengthens hubs and cuts Atlantic capacity

26-Apr-12 3:07 PM

Delta Air Lines intends to improve this year on the USD1.2 billion profit it posted in 2011 despite recording a pre-tax USD36 million loss 1Q2012. The carrier believes strong demand and revenue trends will continue throughout 2012, allowing it to recoup increases in fuel expenditure that rose USD250 million during the first three months of 2012.

The pre-tax loss was a USD355 million year-on-year improvement of Delta’s 1Q2011 results, driven by a strong revenue performance despite headlines of a spreading recession in Europe and the uncertain ripple effects of the continent’s economic woes. Factoring in USD136 million in special items, including the favourable settlement of fuel hedges and a USD39 million gain from the settlement of its airport slot swap with US Airways, Delta recorded a USD163 million profit. Its net loss excluding those items was USD39 million.

Is re-regulation the way out for the US?

23-Jun-10 4:14 PM

In almost every Laurel and Hardy movie the comes a moment when Oliver glares at a usually weepy Stan and says something like, “Now look the mess you’ve gotten us into.” While it is clear to all US aviation stakeholders and travelers that there is a mess, there is, alas, no particular “Stan” to take the rap. Consolidation, the next big thing, is causing a new and different type of angst in the market, with unions and legislators discussing the need for some sort of re-regulation in order to shore-up the current players and, arguably, return them to consistent profitability. Despite the flurry of consumer-related regulation already in place, this would be a massive u-turn for a country which gave the world deregulation, as CAPA investigates.

Delta Air Lines CEO, Richard Anderson Delta on the move: New York, Africa, Asia Pacific and more

9-Jun-10 11:51 AM

Upon completion of its merger with Northwest, Delta Air Lines became the world’s largest carrier, a position that may soon be lost by the creation of a “new” United Airlines. However, Delta is using this moment of dominance to expand in ways that are unparalleled amongst its legacy peers. Both domestically and internationally the airline is aggressively challenging its rivals and appears to be building its network in ways that will guarantee its continued market position despite increasing consolidation in the US marketplace.
