Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian is more confident about demand in the second half of the year due to price-sensitive passengers in the US showing restraint in recent months amid a worsening economic climate. Demand should "tick up a bit" in the period, Bastian said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in New Delhi on Sunday. That's after Delta suffered weakness in bookings predominantly in the US market and among leisure travelers in its main cabin earlier this year, he said in an interview with Bloomberg's Guy Johnson.
