Delta gets another break

More good news for Delta Air Lines. Today credit card processors lifted a billion-dollar withholding requirement. The processors were holding off paying Atlanta-based Delta for tickets purchased with Visa or MasterCard that hadn’t been used for travel. The withheld payments totaled 800-million dollars. Now Delta can use that money to improve its domestic and international markets. Delta emerged from a two-and-a-half-year bankruptcy in April.
