"Despite a downturn in economy seat bookings, demand for premium travel has surged, contributing positively to Delta's overall revenue, which rose by 5% in premium products."
Delta Air Lines reported record second-quarter revenues of $15.5 billion and pre-tax profits of $1.8 billion. This surge in profits follows the company's recovery since early 2025 when Delta's stock lost a third of its value. While bookings for economy seats declined by 5%, premium seat demand increased by 5%. CEO Ed Bastian emphasized that Delta's target consumer, earning over $100,000 annually, has significantly recovered financially post-pandemic, leading to a shift towards more premium travel experiences.
