OREANDA-NEWS. Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today reported financial and operating performance for May 2015.

Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of May decreased 5.5 percent year over year, with roughly half of the decline due to foreign exchange pressure and lower surcharges in international markets and the remainder from lower domestic yields. Delta now expects consolidated PRASM for the June quarter to decline approximately 4 to 5 percent, with the change from previous guidance a result of lower-than-expected close-in domestic business yields.

The company's financial and operating performance is detailed below.
