ATLANTA-<\/strong> In the late spring, prominent media outlets reported that Delta Air Lines (DL)<\/a> was exploring the possibility of acquiring both Airbus A350<\/a> (-1000s) and Airbus A330neos. It seems that this order is on track to be finalized this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Delta placed an order for Boeing 737 MAXs<\/a>, most of its fleet comprises Airbus aircraft. Currently, the airline operates around 67 Airbus A330 and 28 A350-900 widebodies, with an additional 16 and 14 of each on order, respectively. Notably, Delta utilized taxpayer bailout funds to procure 10 of their European A350s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent developments suggest increased activity, with aviation watchdog JonNYC <\/a><\/em>indicating that an order for new Airbus widebody planes is expected to be officially announced in the coming weeks, likely before the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DL: My current expectation would be a DL widebody announcement in the coming weeks before year-end.<\/p>— \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 JonNYC \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@xJonNYC) November 30, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
