Delta posts $1.11 billion profit for third quarter and sees strong holiday bookings_我的网站

一 |     Planes packed with summer travelers boosted Delta Air Lines to a $1.11 billion profit in the third quarter, and the carrier said Thursday that it expects revenue to keep rising into the holiday season.Profit was up 59% from a year earlier, as strong ticket sales — especially for premium seats and international flights — helped Delta shrug off higher labor costs.The Atlanta-based airline predicted ranges for fourth-quarter and full-year profit that mostly exceed Wall Street expectations.“I think we’re closing the year strong, and the holiday bookings that we see right now are pretty good,” CEO Ed Bastian said in an interview. “Domestic (travel) is solid, and international is really strong.”U.S. airlines are flying high as the travel recovery that began last year shows few signs of slowing down.Delta increased its passenger-carrying capacity an aggressive 16% and was able to fill all those extra seats. Travelers flew 64 billion miles on the airline in the quarter, a 17% increase, and they filled 88% of the seats on the average flight, a point higher than last summer.Revenue from ticket sales in the main cabin grew 12% — and 17% for premium seating. Money from Delta’s loyalty program soared 21%.The program, called SkyMiles, has become so popular that there are far more passengers hoping for upgrades to better seats than available seats. Lines can grow long at Delta lounges at busy airports like Atlanta and New York’s JFK.But when Delta announced changes to deal with the overcrowding last month — including basing elite frequent-flyer status purely on spending, and limiting lounge access for holders of Delta credit cards — the reaction from longtime customers was quick and brutal. Some vowed to switch airlines. Alaska Airlines and JetBlue fished for disgruntled Delta members by promising elite status in their programs. Even Bastian admitted the airline “ probably went too far.” Bastian has promised to modify the unpopular changes, but he hasn’t given any details yet.“We are working on that. We’ll be announcing something in the coming days,” Bastian said in the interview. He said he has received “a lot of feedback – everyone had their own ideas as to how we might restructure the program. Almost universally, people acknowledged that we needed to do something.” Delta's third-quarter profit, adjusted to exclude one-time items, was $2.03 per share, 8 cents better than forecast by analysts in a FactSet survey. Revenue rose 11% to $15.49 billion, also beating expectations.For the fourth quarter, Delta said revenue will rise as much as 11% from a year ago and it will earn between $1.05 to $1.30 per share. Analysts expected $1.09.The airline predicted that full-year profit will land between $6 and $6.25 per share after saying in June it would be at the top end of a $5-to-$6 range. The short-term outlook would be rosier if not for a recent pickup in jet fuel prices — although fuel is still much cheaper than it was a year ago. Bastian expressed confidence that Delta and other carriers can raise prices enough to cover any increase in fuel expense. Shares of Delta were virtually flat in morning trading.。    <사진=뉴스1> 가수 싸이가 향정신성의약품을 비대면으로 처방받고 매니저를 통해 대리 수령한 혐의로 약식기소된 것으로 파악됐습니다.서울서부지검은 지난달 22일 의료법 위반 혐의로 싸이와 서울 소재 대학병원 교수 A 씨를 약식기소했다고 오늘(26일) 밝혔습니다.또 함께 검찰에 넘겨진 의료진과 매니저 등 나머지 4명은 기소유예 처분을 받았습니다. 싸이 등에 대한 법원의 약식명령은 아직 나오지 않은 것으로 전해졌습니다.약식기소는 검찰이 정식 재판 없이 서면 심리만으로 벌금·과료 등 재산형을 내려달라고 법원에 청구하는 절차로, 피고인은 법원의 약식명령에 불복할 경우 정식재판을 청구할 수 있습니다.싸이는 지난 2022년부터 지난해까지 서울의 한 대학병원에서 향정신성의약품을 대면 진료 없이 처방받고 매니저 등에게 대리 수령하게 한 혐의를 받습니다.A 씨에게는 박 씨를 직접 대면 진찰하지 않고 해당 약품을 처방한 혐의가 적용됐습니다.앞서 서울 서대문경찰서는 압수수색을 통해 해당 병원의 진료 기록을 확보하는 등 수사를 벌인 뒤 지난 5월 29일 싸이와 A 교수, 매니저 등 6명을 의료법 위반 혐의로 서울서부지검에 송치했습니다.。
