Much of Delta's decline in profits can be attributed to a new union contract for its pilots which kicked in late last year.
During the fourth quarter, the airline's salary expense jumped $656 million which is equivalent to a 30% increase over the same period in 2015.
Net income fell to $622 million, or 84 cents per share, in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, from $980 million, or $1.25 per share, a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, the No. 2 airline by passenger traffic earned 82 cents per share.
Total operating revenue fell to $9.46 billion from $9.50 billion.
For the year, Delta reported $39.64 billion in operating revenue with $4.37 billion in net income. Both metrics are down 3% versus 2015.
