Description: DAL Delta Air Lines January 29, 2026
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) operates a global passenger and cargo network from major U.S. hubs-including Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Salt Lake City-and international gateways such as Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, and Tokyo. The airline’s two-segment structure (Airline and Refinery) also encompasses aircraft maintenance, engineering services, and vacation-package sales, supported by a fleet of roughly 1,292 aircraft.
Key recent metrics show Delta generated $53.9 billion in FY 2023 revenue, with an operating margin of 12.5% and an 86% load factor, reflecting strong demand recovery post-COVID. Fuel remains the largest cost driver; jet-fuel prices averaged $2.30 per gallon in Q3 2024, translating to $0.045 per available seat-mile. Labor costs are also rising, with the most recent collective-bargaining agreement adding a 3.5% wage increase through 2026, which could pressure earnings if demand softens.
