Delta Air Lines narrows first-quarter loss, adds bag fee, retiring freighters

Delta Air Lines said Tuesday that it narrowed its first-quarter loss and set new measures to increase revenue and preserve liquidity. The carrier said that effective Tuesday, for international travel beginning July 1, Delta will charge customers a $50 fee to check a second bag, which is expected to generate more than $100 million annually. It will also ground its fleet of 14 B747-200 freighter aircraft effective Dec. 31, citing its age and inefficiency. (www.marketwatch.com) Más...
