Record quarterly revenue of $15.2 billion in the third quarter, a year-over-year spike of 4.1 percent, helped push Delta Air Line stock up by more than 4 percent by market close.
Delta on Oct. 9 announced that its quarterly earnings topped expectations, with ticket sales from premium, corporate, and loyalty customers increasing in all geographic areas. Those increases give it strong headway heading into the final quarter of the year, the Atlanta-based carrier said.
