Delta Airlines is set to bump more passengers off flights as it increases the number of flights it oversells - but it could earn customers as much as $10,000. President Glen Hauenstein said in an earnings call earlier this month that the firm - which posted a pre-tax income of $2.7 billion last year - was planning to 'turn up' overbookings 'slightly' after seeing a spike in passengers failing to turn up for flights.Selling more tickets than available seats is common practice among airlines. The idea is to ensure planes are as full as possible - with firms assuming a certain number of passengers will miss the flight or change their travel plans.
