Delta Air LinesNYSE: DAL

United Airlines is working to increase its profits by investing significantly in more spacious seats and developing a network that will attract wealthy travelers.

The stocks of United Airlines and Delta Air Lines should be reassessed.

United Airlines has been in operation for almost 100 years and has become one of the largest airlines globally. This year, its stock has outperformed all other U.S. airlines.

Delta Airlines (DAL) is taking legal action against the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike Inc. (CRWD) due to a problematic software update in July that disrupted its operations and impacted over a million customers.

The recent updates from the airline could have been more positive, but overall, the stock is still considered a great investment.

United Airlines did not include the expenses from the CrowdStrike IT outage in July in its earnings report. This incident had a significant impact on Delta, leading to the cancellation of thousands of flights.

The established airline is performing well, and its investors are optimistic that solid results from the third quarter will help it recover from the disappointment caused by Delta last week.

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) released its earnings report for the third quarter of 2024, and the stock price dropped at first due to the disappointing results. Investors were unhappy because the earnings per share (EPS) fell short by 2 cents, coming in at $1.50, and the revenue was nearly $700 million below expectations.

Delta announced that its catering service was made aware of a "food safety issue" at its Detroit hub, leading to a halt in operations there. The airline stated that there have been no reports of illness among customers or employees.
