Delta Air Lines announced on April 9 that it is withdrawing its financial forecast for 2025 and will reduce its planned capacity growth for the second half of the year, citing weaker demand and mounting economic instability.

“Given current uncertainty, Delta is not reaffirming full-year 2025 financial guidance and will provide an update later in the year as visibility improves,” the company said in its quarterly earnings statement.
