Interesting!

Fuel and personnel cost more or less the same. Same for maintenance and airplanes leasing.

I wonder what is 'other' in the income.

That's both cargo and passengers... (Although some passengers don't 'transport', but mostly 'carry in their bodies' one way or another) /s

I used to work for Delta. Plane maintenance for other airlines and the government is a huge chunk. There’s entire teams in engineering who don’t do a single thing on Delta planes because they’re constantly doing repairs on external planes.

Also meteorology information or any other analytical information that can be sold to other companies, credit card program, charter flights.

I’m assuming in flight purchases and lounge status are covered under passenger revenue but potentially not.

I would guess other is any other source of income including revenue from co-branded credit cards, their “delta vacations” thing, cuts they get from when they sell you insurance and other ancillary things, perhaps even active interest. Don’t know if change fees are included in passenger revenue or “other”.

Maintenance costs are probz just parts and supplies in this case and the time costs are under the salaries.
