ATLANTA, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines
(NYSE: DAL) today reported financial and operating performance for
September 2016.
Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of
September declined 3.0% year over year, as close-in domestic yield
pressures moderated slightly with the implementation of lower Fall
capacity levels. Delta continued to face a supply-demand
imbalance in the Transatlantic and headwinds from prior year Yen
hedge gains in the month.
The company's financial and operating performance is detailed
below.
