Delta Air Lines reported adjusted June-quarter operating revenue of $17.7 billion, up 14% from a year earlier, and adjusted pre-tax income of $1.4 billion, a 7.7% margin. Adjusted fuel expense was $4.4 billion, up 77%, at $3.93 a gallon, 75% more than a year before. Adjusted earnings were $1.56 a share. For the September quarter it guided to revenue growth in the mid-teens, an operating margin of 11% to 13% and earnings of $2.00 to $2.50 a share, and it affirmed full-year adjusted earnings of $6.50 to $7.50 a share.
Delta is the first big US airline to report each season, so its numbers are read across the group. They show the mechanism at work in the sector: jet fuel, the largest variable cost, rose by about three quarters, and the carrier offset it with 14% revenue growth on roughly 1% more capacity. Airlines with weaker pricing or less premium and loyalty revenue have less room to absorb the same fuel cost. Refiners sit on the other side of that bill.
