Prepared Remarks:
Operator
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Delta Airlines December quarter and full year 2022 financial results conference call. My name is Matthew, and I'll be your coordinator. [Operator instructions] I would now like to turn the conference over to Julie Stewart, vice president of investor relations. Please go ahead.
Julie Stewart -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, Matthew. And good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us for our December quarter and full year 2022 earnings call. Joining us from Atlanta today, our CEO, Ed Bastian; our president, Glen Hauenstein; our CFO, Dan Janki. Ed will open the call with an overview of Delta's performance and strategy, Glen will provide an update on the revenue environment, and Dan will discuss costs and our balance sheet.
After the prepared remarks, we'll take analyst questions. We ask that you please limit yourself to one question and a follow-up so we can get to as many as possible. After the analyst Q&A, we will move to our media questions. Today's discussion contains forward-looking statements that represent our beliefs or expectations about future events.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may cause such differences are described in Delta's SEC filings. We'll also discuss non-GAAP financial measures, and all results exclude special items unless otherwise noted. You can find a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures on the investor relations page at ir.delta.com.
And with that, I'll turn the call over to Ed.
Ed Bastian -- Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Julie. Good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today. Earlier, Delta reported our full year results, including our December quarter earnings per share of $1.48 on record revenue.
That was 8% above 2019 levels. We generated a 12% operating margin, our third consecutive quarter of double-digit operating margins, pointing to the strength of our recovery. I want to sincerely thank the 90,000 strong Delta team for their outstanding work in delivering these results and serving our customers during a very busy holiday travel season. In my opinion, 2022 was the most difficult operational year in our history.
