• Delta Revolver Extended to 2028

  Delta Air Lines extended the availability period of its $100 million revolving credit facility by two years, to September 20, 2028, maintaining the full commitment amount and existing terms.

• Q2 Net Loss of $107M

  GAAP net loss widened to $107 million from $82 million a year ago, including a $13 million non-cash impairment on legacy fleet retirement and a $13 million combined increase in interest expense and aircraft lease costs.

• Adjusted EBITDAR Loss Improves 27%

  Adjusted EBITDAR loss narrowed to $19.9 million from $27.3 million, driven by improved economics of the premium Phenom and Challenger fleet, which now comprises 100% of the active controlled fleet.

• Revenue Flat, Premium Fleet Demand Doubles

  GAAP revenue of $182 million was down 4% year-over-year due to divested non-core businesses, but private jet flight revenue was flat as demand for premium aircraft more than doubled, offsetting legacy fleet retirements.

A critical liquidity backstop has been reinforced: Delta extended its $100 million revolving credit facility by two years, now maturing in September 2028, underscoring the strategic partnership. Meanwhile, the Q2 results reveal a net loss of $107 million, weighed down by a $13 million non-cash impairment on legacy fleet retirement and higher interest costs. Yet the premium fleet strategy is gaining traction—Adjusted EBITDAR loss improved 27% year-over-year. While the revolver extension signals confidence from the lead investor, the company continues to burn cash and depends on external financing.
