KEY POINTS:
Delta Air Lines emerged from bankruptcy yesterday, following a 19-month, US$3 billion ($4.1 billion) restructuring during which the carrier thwarted a hostile takeover, cut costs and jobs, and eliminated some unprofitable routes.
The third-largest US airline also added some 60 international routes in an effort to offset brutal low-cost competition in the United States that has pressured the airline industry since the September 11, 2001, attacks.
