Press release from the issuing company
Wednesday, June 5th, 2013
Delta Air Lines today reported financial and operating performance for May 2013.
Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of May increased 0.5% year over year driven by unit revenue gains in Delta's New York hubs and the international entities, which offset 1 point of negative impact to system PRASM from the yen devaluation.
Delta completed 99.9 percent of its flights in May and ran an on-time arrival rate of 86.2 percent. Over the Memorial Day travel weekend, Delta carried more than 1.3 million passengers, with a 99.98 percent completion factor and a 91 percent on-time arrival rate.
