The airline aims to grow revenue in the mid-single digits next year, focusing on high-income travelers who make up 75% of air travel spending.
Delta is expanding its premium offerings, with plans for premium seats to generate more revenue than main cabin seats by 2027.
The airline has significantly increased the share of paid first-class seats from 12% to over 70%, enhancing its revenue model.
