Delta Air Lines Announces Major Growth in Second Quarter

Delta Air Lines officials announced Thursday the carrier has posted record revenue and a larger profit margin for the second quarter of 2019.

According to Yahoo Finance, Delta revealed its second-quarter profit jumped 39 percent to $1.44 billion thanks to strong demand brought on by a busy summer travel season. As a result of the higher totals, the carrier raised its full-year earnings forecast.

As the airline continues to expand its current service and add new routes, the company reported passengers flew more than 63 billion miles between April and June, which was a 6.3 percent increase over the same period last year.
