Delta Airlines pulled its guidance for 2025 Wednesday as the trade war scrambles expectations for business and household spending and depresses bookings across the travel sector.
“With broad economic uncertainty around global trade, growth has largely stalled," CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement on Wednesday. "In this slower-growth environment, we are protecting margins and cash flow by focusing on what we can control. This includes reducing planned capacity growth in the second half of the year to flat over last year while actively managing costs and capital expenditures.”
