Delta Air Lines Inc. will give its employees a 4% pay increase this year, similar to the increase in 2025, even as the airline industry grapples with uncertainty over surging fuel costs.

The increase represents the fifth consecutive raise for workers in as many years and would cost $500 million, according to a statement Friday.
