“Internationally, we saw strong demand and solid unit revenue gains, and our international network continues to grow with the recent launch of flights to Heathrow and Shanghai,” said Glen Hauenstein, Delta’s executive vice president -- Network Planning and Revenue Management. “On the domestic side, we moved quickly and aggressively to rationalize capacity in light of fuel prices and economic conditions. The benefits of these actions and our yield management initiatives, combined with the earlier Easter holiday, resulted in stronger year-over-year domestic unit revenue gains than seen last month.”
