Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today reported financial and operating performance for May 2012.

While lower than recent guidance by one point, May's performance is strong when viewed in the context of an exceptional May performance in 2011. The variance to recent guidance is due primarily to the impact from competitor fare actions in the second half of the month. Delta expects strong peak season revenue performance.

The company's fuel price per gallon was $3.37 for the month.
