Delta Air Lines "disappointed" with Q1 loss figure

Delta Air Lines said today that although its first-quarter net loss narrowed from a year ago, it was disappointed with the figure and said that rising jet fuel costs had taken a toll.

The US airline reported net losses for the first three months of this year at $383m (€321.7m), much improved on the 2003 first quarter net loss of $466m (€391.5m).
