November 24, 2014 - Delta Air Lines has chosen
the Airbus A350-900 and A330-900neo to replace
older generation Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft
starting in 2017 and 2019, respectively.
The order for 25 state-of-the-art Airbus
A350-900 aircraft and 25 advanced Airbus
A330-900neo aircraft fits within Delta's
existing capacity and capital expenditure plan
and continues the airline's focus on making
prudent, cost-effective investments in its
fleet.
"Delta always approaches fleet decisions with a
balance of economic efficiency, customer
experience enhancements, network integration and
total cost of ownership," said Nat Pieper,
Delta's Vice President – Fleet Strategy and
Transactions.
