Delta Air Lines on Tuesday raised its second-quarter forecast and estimated full-year adjusted earnings of $6 a share, at the high end of estimates it gave last April as strong travel demand and trade-ups to more expensive fare classes continue to drive growth.
Delta forecast adjusted earnings per share of $2.25 to $2.50 for the second quarter, up from a previous range of $2 to $2.25 a share. CEO Ed Bastian said the company’s second-quarter earnings, which it is scheduled to report next month, could be its highest ever for the April-June period.
“The demand as you know, as anyone that’s traveling knows, is off the chain,” Bastian said in an interview with CNBC
