Delta Air Lines said on Friday it expects 2025 to be the most profitable year in the company's 100-year history, thanks to robust demand for premium travel as well as the industry's improved pricing power.

Delta Air Lines Inc. shares jumped after the carrier’s profit beat Wall Street’s estimates for the final months of 2024, buoyed by gains in both the US market and overseas. The company doesn’t expect the momentum to slow in the new year.

Delta Air Lines Inc. surpassed Wall Street's profit expectations for the fourth quarter, driven by robust international and corporate travel demand. CEO Ed Bastian cited a favorable supply-demand balance and strong demand visibility into spring 2025.
