The chief executive of Delta Air Lines expressed optimism about the incoming Trump administration, calling it a 'breath of fresh air' for the airline industry. The CEO highlighted the perceived government 'overreach' under President Joe Biden, particularly in terms of consumer-protection regulations that have impacted airlines.
Delta is currently under federal investigation for its slow recovery from a global technology outage earlier this year. Despite these challenges, the airline reported a profit of $2.6 billion in the first nine months of 2023, following a successful year in 2022.
