Delta Airlines announces good operations in May 2013

US’ Delta Airlines says it has recorded strong operations during the month of May 2013.

The airline completed 99.9% of its flights in May and ran an on-time arrival rate of 86.2%, according to its financial and operating performance report for May 2013.

Delta says it carried more than 1.3 million passengers, with a 99.98% completion factor and a 91% on-time arrival rate over the Memorial Day travel weekend.

It added that “Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of May increased 0.5% year over year.”

This, according to the Atlanta-based airline, was driven by unit revenue gains in Delta’s New York hubs and the international entities, which offset one point of negative impact to system PRASM from the yen devaluation.

Delta Airlines serves more than 160 million customers each year.
