Delta has ordered 31 Airbus widebody aircraft to fuel international growth and accelerate fleet renewal.
The order is for 16 A330-900s and 15 A350-900s, with delivery expected to begin in 2029.
The A350’s extended range and performance capabilities will facilitate Delta’s growth into key long-haul markets in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the South Pacific.
Following the new order, Delta’s A330-900 fleet will increase to 55 aircraft and the A350 fleet to 79 aircraft, including 20 A350-1000s that the airline expects to begin receiving early next year.
“As we grow our international footprint and prepare our fleet to serve expanded long-haul markets, these aircraft will enhance our capabilities and elevate our premium offerings,” said Delta CEO, Ed Bastian.
