Delta Airlines announced on November 1st that it will cut some positions with the aim of managing costs more effectively. Delta Airlines did not specify the number of layoffs, but stated that the layoffs would not affect frontline employees such as pilots or flight attendants.
Last month, Delta Airlines lowered its annual profit forecast due to rising fuel costs. It is estimated that the increase in fuel prices will increase Delta Airlines' costs by $400 million in the second half of the year.
