Delta Air Lines expects best ever year in 2025
Delta Air Lines reported financial results for the December quarter expecting another record breaking year ahead.
It recorded $5 billion of pre-tax income and $8 billion of operating cash flow.
“It was a great year for Delta with our results reflecting differentiation from the industry and increased durability,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian.
“Our people finished the year strong, delivering industry-leading operational and financial performance.”
It reported a higher-than-expected fourth-quarter profit.
“Sharing Delta’s success is core to our culture, and I’m excited to recognize our people’s outstanding efforts with $1.4 billion in profit sharing payments next month,” Bastian added.
Bastian noted the positive outlook for the March quarter and full year 2025.
“As we move into 2025, we expect the strong travel demand to continue, with consumers increasingly seeking the premium products and experiences that Delta provides.”
The airline expects earnings of $7.35 a share this year, beating analysts’ forecast.
In fact, Bastian is confident 2025 will be ‘our best financial year in our history.’
