DL also intends to ground a further 20 aircraft, including some widebody jets, in addition to the 120 it previously said would leave the fleet over the next 18 months. As a result, capacity (ASMs) for the second half will be down four percentage points compared to previous plans, with post-Labor Day system capacity down 4% year-on-year. It will maintain capex spending at $ 1.2 billion over the next five years.
