TODAY'S GERMAN TEXT
Delta senkt Gewinnprognose für 2026 wegen hoher Treibstoffpreise
Am Freitag hat Delta seine Gewinnprognose für 2026 gesenkt, weil die Treibstoffpreise hoch bleiben.
Die Fluggesellschaft erwartet jetzt einen Gewinn von 5,10 bis 5,60 Dollar pro Aktie.
Am Donnerstag kostete Flugbenzin in der US-Region am Golf von Mexiko 4,34 Dollar.
Die Preise für Flüge steigen, weil Treibstoff teuer ist.
Trotz der höheren Preise buchen die Menschen weiter Flüge.
