Delta Air Lines airlifted 17.7 million passengers across its routes including Nigeria in June 2018, thereby becoming the busiest month for the carrier in its annals.
According to the airline, June 2017, still holds the record for most customers flown on a single day at more than 646,000, the Friday before the 2018 July 4, 2018 holiday wasn’t far behind with just a thousand fewer customers flown.
Still, June 2018 was a busy month, racking up six of the top 10 consolidated passenger days of all time — the remaining four days all happened in summer 2017, proving yet again that it’s summer, not the thanksgiving and winter holidays, that takes the cake for busiest days of the year.
“We’ve made a commitment to our customers to be a reliability leader, delivering a safe, on-time product and the 80,000 employees of Delta are doing just that,” said Dave Holtz, Delta’s Senior Vice President — Operations and Customer Center.
