Background ✨
Delta reported that demand remained "healthy" for 4Q2025, with booking growth returning to expectations after a temporary softening in Nov-2025 due to a government shutdown, which was expected to impact pre-tax profitability by approximately USD200 million1. Glen Hauenstein also emphasised balanced domestic growth across hubs and a focus on aligning products and pricing, alongside expansion plans in Asia and the Middle East2.
