Delta Air Lines reported an 11% increase in third-quarter profit, reaching $1.42 billion, or $2.17 per share, exceeding analyst expectations. The airline forecasts a strong finish to 2025, projecting adjusted earnings of $1.60 to $1.90 per share for the fourth quarter, compared to the $1.65 expected by analysts. Revenue is expected to grow by up to 4%, driven by resilient demand for premium travel, which saw a 9% increase in revenue. Domestic unit revenue also rose by 2%, supported by a 5% increase in overall domestic passenger revenue. CEO Ed Bastian noted that there are no signs of a consumer pullback in premium products, and Delta is well-positioned for continued growth and margin expansion into 2026.
