U.S. airlines took in some $2 billion in fees for ancillary services in the third quarter, a 36.4% increase over the same period in 2008, and Delta Air Lines clearly was the most aggressive carrier in its fee-collection activities.
The details, from a report by the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, show that Delta’s ancillary revenue efforts, which brought in $447.5 million, had no serious competition. American Airlines came in second at $261.2 million for the quarter.
