Delta predicts 2020 profit growth; CEO says more people turning to air travel
Delta Air Lines Inc sees another annual rise in profit and revenue in 2020 driven by what Chief Executive Ed Bastian called a growing interest in air travel by consumers across the generational spectrum. "People are more inspired to travel," Bastian told Reuters ahead of the carrier's investor day, citing the increased affordability of flying and advances in social media and technology, even as environmental and "flight-shaming" activists threaten air travel growth in Europe. Atlanta-based Delta is forecasting 2020 profit of $6.75 to $7.75 per share, versus analysts' mean estimate of $7.06 according to IBES data from Refinitiv, on revenue growth of 4% to 6% and $4 billion of free cash flow.

Delta sees revenue growth continuing next year
Delta Air Lines expects to fly through the “headwinds” of US election uncertainty and the return of Boeing’s 737 Max planes to competitors’ schedules to produce revenue growth of 4 to 6 per cent in 2020, the US carrier will tell investors on Thursday. Ed Bastian, chief executive, told the Financial Times that 2019 would be “the best year in Delta’s history by almost all measures”, and predicted that momentum would continue, allowing it to report diluted earnings per share of $6.75-$7.75 next year. Delta has claimed to have seen little advantage from not having the Max in its fleet at a time when rivals including Southwest and American have had to ground many of their planes for months after two fatal crashes.
