Delta Air Lines December traffic and capacity rise
Delta Air Lines reported that its traffic in Dec 2016 increased 2.6% from Dec 2015 on a capacity increase of 1.5%. The airline said its total system traffic for the month rose 2.6% to 16.80b revenue passenger miles from 16.38b RPMs in the same period last year. Monthly total system capacity was 19.70b available seat miles, up 1.5% from 19.40b ASMs in the prior year period. Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of December was flat year over year, driven by strong demand trends and improving close-in domestic yields as Delta's capacity actions and revenue management strategies continue to benefit results. Delta said Wednesday that it now expects unit revenue to decline 2.5-3.0% for the December quarter given the better than expected result for the month of December. <br/>
