Delta And United: The Fed's Next Move Could Be A Liftoff For Airlines

Delta Air Lines, Inc. offers stability and resilience with strong premium revenue, a robust loyalty program, and a healthy balance sheet, ideal for risk-averse investors. United Airlines Holdings, Inc. is a high-beta play with greater upside and risk, benefiting most from rate cuts due to its heavier floating-rate debt and global exposure.
