Annual Report — FY 2024
Filed February 11, 2025
Total revenue hit approximately $61.6 billion in 2024, driven by strong passenger demand across all regions — with Atlantic routes and premium cabin upgrades standing out as key growth engines. The balance sheet continued its post-pandemic repair, with management aggressively paying down debt while returning capital to shareholders through resumed share buybacks and dividends, signaling confidence in durable cash flow. Looking ahead, Delta's deepening SkyMiles loyalty program monetization — already pledged as collateral backing billions in financing — and major infrastructure bets at LAX and LaGuardia position the airline to widen its premium revenue moat heading into 2025.
