Delta is seeing a rebound in main cabin revenue growth after it declined in 2025. Premium revenue overtook main cabin sales last year, and while premium remains the bigger revenue contributor, main cabin is back to positive growth. Unit revenue in the main cabin actually exceeded the premium section in 2Q, because main cabin capacity was down 2% to 3%, CEO Ed Bastian says on a call with analysts. "Main cabin has gotten significantly healthier this year," he says. The airline won't be growing capacity in the main cabin any time soon as happy with the current balance between main cabin and premium cabins, the CEO says. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
