Delta, Northwest are airlines most at risk from oil spike. According to Airwise News, analysts have predicted that Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines are the two U.S. airlines most at risk of falling into bankruptcy due to surging energy costs. The chief executives of Delta and Northwest warned Congress last month they could face bankruptcy if they did not get relief from pension costs – energy is the second highest cost for airlines after labour. In an effort to save on fuel costs, Delta is making its aircraft lighter by removing ovens and phones, replacing seats and cutting the amount of time planes taxi down the runway.
