Delta Air Lines (DL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson) has announced it has revised its A330neo and A350 order backlogs. In a statement, the carrier said it had ordered ten more A330-900s from Airbus thereby bringing the total number of type on order to 35. Delta's first A330neo is due to deliver in 2019.
In contrast, Delta said it had agreed on terms with Airbus to defer deliveries for ten out of twenty-five A350-900s that were due to arrive in the short-term.
"The 10 previously on order A350 aircraft have been deferred to 2025-26 with certain flexibility rights including the right to convert these orders to A330-900s," the airline said.
Delta currently operates eleven A350-900s and expects to take delivery of two A350s in 2019 and two in 2020.
