🚀✈🚁 Delta Air Lines Echoes Air France Olympics to Hit Bottom Line ✈🚁 ▪️Delta Air Lines Airlines has added its voice to the growing chorus of concerns about the economic impact of the Paris Olympics. Echoing similar sentiments expressed by Air France weeks ago, Delta Air Lines has announced that it expects to incur significant financial losses due to the global sporting event. ▪️The airline attributes its projected losses to increased operational costs, heightened competition for resources, and potential disruptions to flight schedules. However, a deeper issue may be at play. The surge in prices across France, a consequence of various economic factors, seems to have deterred many tourists from visiting Paris this summer. ▪️While the event is anticipated to bring economic benefits to Paris, the broader impact on the tourism sector and airlines remains a cause for concern.
