Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines announced it will pay a quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share to stock owners, its first such payment since it suspended dividends at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
Airlines that received federal relief funding from the CARES Act were prohibited until Sept. 30, 2022 from paying dividends or buying back stock to benefit shareholders.
Dallas-based Southwest Airlines last December said it would resume its dividend.
