Delta Air Lines reports Q2 earnings and maintains full-year profit forecast despite fuel cost spike.
Delta reported second-quarter adjusted income fell 26% due to a $1.9 billion increase in fuel expenses from the US-Israeli war with Iran. The airline reaffirmed its full-year profit forecast, citing strong travel demand and fares up 11%-12%. CEO Ed Bastian said fares will remain high despite falling jet fuel prices.
