Delta Air Lines Targets Trans-Pacific Leadership, Reports $5 Billion Net Profit

Delta Air Lines is targeting leadership in the trans-Pacific market, with President Peter Carter stating the carrier plans to become the leading US airline across the Pacific and ultimately the leading global airline. The airline earned more than $5 billion in net profit last year, compared to around $3.35 billion for United Airlines, though its trans-Pacific revenue of $2.79 billion trailed United's roughly $6.89 billion. Delta expects part of its growth to come through its joint venture with Korean Air, which is merging with Asiana Airlines, and recently launched a Los Angeles-Hong Kong service. United CEO Scott Kirby welcomed the competition, while Carter responded, 'Bring 'em on.'
