Delta hat ein Jahr die Mittelsitze blockiert. Während andere Airlines das bereits seit langer Zeit aufgegeben haben, hat Delta es stoisch durchgehalten. Es dürfte sich auch ausgezahlt haben. Travel Weekly hat sich die Zahlen angesehen:

„Delta, which has long worked to position itself as the U.S. premium airline brand, entered the pandemic with higher average yields — the average fare per passenger mile flown — than American and United. Delta’s 2019 yield was 17.79 cents per passenger mile compared with 17.41 cents at American and 16.55 cents at United.
That lead increased substantially in 2020. For the year, yield at Delta dipped just 1%, to 17.55 cents. By comparison, United’s yield decreased 3.4%, to 15.98 cents. Yield at American plunged 9.2%, to 15.81 cents.“

Angesichts der hohen Durchimpfungsraten beendet man mit 01.05. diese Maßnahme.

Die Infos:

„“While Delta’s decision to block middle seats has given many customers a reason to choose Delta over the past year, the signature hospitality of our employees and the experiences they deliver to customers every day have also deepened their trust in our airline,” said Bastian. “The relationships we’ve built, together with the knowledge that nearly 65 percent of those who flew Delta in 2019 anticipate having at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by May 1, are what’s giving us the assurance to offer customers the ability to choose any seat on our aircraft, while also introducing new services, products and rewards to support the journey. We take great pride in the trust we’ve built with customers by listening and delivering on what they said was most important, and that is the approach you can continue to expect.”
Since Delta introduced its middle seat block in April 2020, consumer behavior and vaccination rates have been the baseline for Delta’s decision to remove or extend the block throughout the pandemic. While scientific studies showed the risk of transmission onboard a full aircraft with everyone wearing a mask is nearly one in a million, Delta was the only airline to continue its middle seat block for an entire year to give customers peace of mind.
Masks will continue to be required and Delta’s industry-leading cleanliness standards will remain in place. Experts at Mayo Clinic and Emory, as well as our own Chief Health Officer Dr. Henry Ting, are helping to guide our way back.“
