Domestic leisure travel driving Delta’s recovery
Domestic leisure travel is keeping Delta Air Lines flying high, the carrier says. A huge 84% of revenues are coming from domestic travel, generating about $4.5 billion.
There has been an ‘acceleration in the last 60 days’ CEO Ed Bastion said as the airline’s quarterly loss narrowed to $881 million.
However international travel remains weak. The normally highly lucrative transatlantic market only generated 5% of revenues at $288 million.
