Delta Air Lines is projecting $1.2 billion in full-year revenues from its Tech Ops business following a strong first quarter that saw the MRO unit generate $380 million.

“For the remaining quarters of the year, we expect a healthy but more normalized rate of MRO growth, supporting a full-year revenue output outlook of $1.2 billion, representing nearly a 50% improvement over last year with expanding margins,” CFO Dan Janki said on an April 8 earnings call.

Expenses were $328 million, which put Tech Ops’ first quarter margin at 14%, or 4% better than the full-year 2025 figure.

First-quarter revenue was more than double the $151 million booked in the first quarter of 2025. Janki said a number of variables contributed to the massive jump, including engine overhauls requiring heavier workscopes—meaning more labor and materials revenue—and shop capacity aligning with third-party customers’ needs.

The company has targeted Tech Ops as a strong growth candidate.

The business unit’s sales, which reflect third-party work only, were $822 million in 2025, which was a 25% jump over 2024’s $658 million, Delta financial filings show.
