Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), which kick-started the earnings season by releasing its March 2016 financial results on 14th April 2016, missed the consensus estimate for revenue slightly, as the foreign currency headwinds continued to pull down its top line during the quarter. However, the Atlanta-based airline comfortably exceeded the earnings expectations by posting an EPS (adjusted) of $1.32 per share, which was driven by the lower fuel costs owing to depressed crude oil prices during the quarter. Below we provide a summary of the key trends witnessed in Delta’s first quarter earnings release.
