Delta Offers Optimistic Outlook as Travelers Continue to Splurge
AI Summary
Delta Air Lines announced on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, that it anticipates a 20% profit increase in 2026, driven by strong demand for premium tickets. The airline reported a $5 billion profit in 2025 on over $63 billion in revenue, expecting revenue to rise at least 5% in the first quarter of 2026. Despite setbacks like tariffs and a government shutdown, Delta's success is attributed to catering to travelers willing to spend on luxury options. The airline also announced an order for 30 Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets, its first time using that model, to replace aging aircraft and diversify its fleet. Business travel is also growing, with corporate sales rising in the last quarter of 2025.
