  • Berkshire Hathaway's $2.6bn Bet on Delta Air Lines: A Strategic Move Amid Rising Jet Fuel Costs
    May 24, 2026, 2:38 AM EDT. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway made a notable $2.6 billion investment in Delta Air Lines, acquiring 39.8 million shares, signaling confidence in the carrier despite the historically tough airline sector. Unlike prior broad investments in multiple airlines, Berkshire now focuses solely on Delta, which owns the Trainer Refinery producing its own jet fuel. This refinery ownership shields Delta from volatile refining margins-the difference between crude oil and jet fuel prices-which recently hit five-year highs due to Middle East conflicts. While jet fuel prices remain a significant cost risk, Delta's strategic asset may provide a competitive edge. Buffett's move reflects a targeted approach amid ongoing industry challenges, diverging from his previous airline bets that struggled during the pandemic.
