| 1/22/26 |  Delta vs United: Premium Boom, Economy Squeeze | It is earnings season, and this week on the Airline Weekly Lounge, Jay Shabat and Meghna Maharishi break down Q4 2025 results from United and Delta, recorded on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. They compare operating margins, unpack how fuel price differences shaped the quarter, and dig into what United’s call revealed about demand, costs, and competitive pressure points. Key themes include the growing gap between premium and main cabin performance, why leaders say domestic softness is more about supply than demand, and how ultra-low-cost carrier capacity cuts could set up a rebound in economy results. On the Delta side, they cover the airline’s push to diversify revenue through areas like MRO, cargo, and loyalty, plus what Delta’s new widebody order signals for fleet and network strategy, including selective international expansion.
