Delta Air Lines: "Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of March declined 5.0% year over year. Results for the month include a 1.5 point headwind from foreign exchange and a USD5 million impact from the recent events in Brussels. While there was pressure on close-in yields during the month, demand remains solid with forward bookings tracking ahead of last year." Source: Company statement, 04-Apr-2016.
