FAA has withdrawn its investigation into whether the City of Dallas violated federal mandates in the long-simmering dispute over Delta Air Lines’ access to gates at Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL).
Delta Air Lines expects both unit revenue and unit costs to near the top of its most recent first-quarter (Q1) guidance ranges, with strong system-wide demand and improving yields providing tailwinds, while accelerated depreciation and pay raises added costs compared to year-earlier figures.
Delta Air Lines said strong first-quarter demand generated “positive results” in “all geographic entities,” adding that international unit revenues outperformed domestic, the Atlanta-based carrier said in an investor update.
