Delta: "Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of February declined 5.5% year-on-year, including 1.5 points of pressure from foreign exchange. Across all entities, booking trends into the peak leisure season are strong and corporate demand remains solid as higher volumes continued to offset lower yields."
