ATLANTA, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today reported financial and operating performance for January 2014.

Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of January increased 5.0% year over year driven by continuing strong domestic demand and corporate revenue gains.
