Key Takeaways:

Last year was the first profitable year in two years for Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) which announced its fourth-quarter and calendar-year 2021 financial results on Thursday. 

The company says its profit was $208 million, bolstered by $4.5 billion in federal aid funding which kept the airlines afloat at the height of the pandemic.
