Delta Air Lines on Thursday cut current-quarter forecasts for operating margins and profit, owing to increased fuel expenses amid supply cuts by Russia and Saudi Arabia.

The carrier now expects third-quarter earnings per share to range between $1.85 and $2.05, compared with its prior expectations of $2.20 to $2.50 per share.
