Delta Traffic Down in April
Press release from the issuing company
Friday, May 3rd, 2013
Delta Air Lines today reported financial and operating performance for April 2013.
Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of April decreased 2% year over year due to demand softness in the domestic entity and the 1-2 point negative impact in the Pacific from the yen devaluation. This result is in line with previous guidance; Delta still expects a modest year over year improvement in May and June unit revenues.
Delta completed 99.9 percent of its flights in April and ran an on-time arrival rate of 85.6 percent.
The company's financial and operating performance is detailed below.
