Delta Airlines faced major financial crises and losses of $2 billion. The CEO decided to restructure Delta by implementing a plan to reduce costs. The restructuring plan included eliminating 6,000 to 7,000 workers, changing customer products and services, and addressing high labor, fuel, and legacy costs that were problems.

In the fallout following the events of 9/11, several major airlines filed for bankruptcy, including Swissair, U.S. Airways, United Airlines, and Sabena. Airlines struggled to reduce high fixed costs, and cost-cutting initiatives quickly followed apparent revenue decreases, as close to 15 percent of the industry workforce lost their jobs in the last quarter of 2001. In the six months after September 11th, close to 1,000 aircraft were grounded, and some companies had close to 50% reductions in both flight frequency and routes. These cost reduction efforts were often successful, as Delta reduced costs by U.S. $1.1 billion, and United reduced costs by U.S. $1.2 billion
