February 2, 2017 9:04 AM EST

Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today reported financial and operating performance for January 2017.

Consolidated passenger unit revenue (PRASM) for the month of January declined 2.5% year over year, consistent with the company's expectation for the quarter. A modest benefit from holiday timing in the month was offset by a 2.5 point headwind from calendar placement and 2 points of pressure from the lapping of 2016's winter storm Jonas.

The company's financial and operating performance is detailed below.
