Delta Air Lines reported record third-quarter revenue this morning, but sharply lowered its full-year profit forecast as higher fuel costs continued to eat into its earnings. Passengers are still paying more to fly, especially up front…but even Delta cannot charge enough to escape the consequences of expensive fuel.
Here are some of the key numbers:
Delta now expects full-year adjusted earnings of $5.10 to $5.60 per share, versus its previous forecast of $6.50 to $7.50. It expects an additional $6 billion in fuel costs this year.
