The airline shared what the rest of peak travel season will look like.
After previously announcing it would be cutting 100 daily flights, Bastian confirmed Delta is limiting capacity to lower levels than those seen in 2019, staying between 83 percent and 85 percent. This will continue as the airline hires and trains new employees.
"July is off to a very good start with a 99.2 percent completion factor through the first 11 days of the month, which is exactly on par with the same holiday period during 2019," Bastian explained."Over the last seven days of this period, we've had only 25 cancellations worldwide on over 30,000 departures."
"We had a separate charter just to repatriate bags back to customers, that have been stranded because of some of the operational issues that European airports were having," Bastian added.The airline also reported a $735 million profit for the last quarter, per The Points Guy. This suggests passengers weren't deterred by higher prices set by the airline to offset other expenses.
But according to Bastian, not all hope is lost when it comes to flight prices. Later on during the July 13 call, Bastian implied that prices might dip by autumn, The Points Guy reported.
