Delta reports 4.5% increase in passenger unit revenue in Jun-2014
Delta Air Lines reported (02-Jul-2014) consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) increased 4.5% year-over-year in Jun-2014, due to corporate and domestic strength offsetting "lower than expected" international yields. The carrier stated the international yields were driven by industry-wide capacity increases and lower business demand to Latin America due to the World Cup. Delta's "solid" operating performance continued through Jun-2014, with a monthly completion factor of 99.9% and an on-time arrival rate of 80.8%. [more - original PR]
