Accra, June 12, GNA - Delta Air lines consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) increased six per cent (6%) for the month of May as compared to the previous year.

A statement from the company in Accra said while lower than recent guidance by one point, May's performance was strong when viewed in the context of an exceptional May performance in 2011.

"The variance to recent guidance is due primarily to the impact from competitor fare actions in the second half of the month. Delta expects strong peak season revenue performance."

It said system load factor increased 0.2 points on a 0.9 per cent reduction in capacity. The company's fuel price per gallon was 3.37 dollars for the month.

"Delta had strong operational performance during the month. Delta's completion factor of 99.7 percent was 0.2 points higher than prior year, and its on-time performance improved 3.7 points to 86.4 per cent."
