Delta Reports Financial and Operating Performance for May 2013

ATLANTA, June 4, 2013 – Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today reported financial and operating performance for May 2013.

Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of May increased 0.5% year over year driven by unit revenue gains in Delta’s New York hubs and the international entities, which offset 1 point of negative impact to system PRASM from the yen devaluation.

Delta completed 99.9 percent of its flights in May and ran an on-time arrival rate of 86.2 percent. Over the Memorial Day travel weekend, Delta carried more than 1.3 million passengers, with a 99.98 percent completion factor and a 91 percent on-time arrival rate.

The company’s financial and operating performance is detailed below.
