Delta Air Lines Raises Revenue Expectations

After the airline lifted its total and unit revenue expectations for the second quarter while lowering its capacity projection, Delta Air Lines Inc, (NYSE:DAL), saw its shares rise by 1.5 percent in premarket trade on Wednesday. 

Expected revenue for the quarter ending in June is expected to be approximately 100 percent of pre-pandemic 2019 levels, up from 93 to 97 percent, while unit revenue is expected to be seven to eight percentage points better than previously expected. 

Delta’s previous guidance was 93% to 97% of pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Cost per available seat mile (CASM) without fuel has been raised from around 17% to 20%, while ASM has been reduced from 82% to 83%. 

The Delta fuel price forecast was raised from $3.20 to $3.35 to $3.60 to $3.70 per gallon due to the increase in the price of crude oil. It has risen 6.7% this year, while the U.S. Global Jets is down 2.9%, and the S&P 500 has dropped 13.3%.
