Delta Airlines Announces New Aircraft Order

Delta Air Lines, an Atlanta-based carrier, has announced a new order for Boeing aircraft. This order includes 30 Boeing 787 aircraft (with the option for 30 more) and 100 Boeing 737 Max aircraft. The 787s will be utilized for premium demand transatlantic destinations and South American routes. Delta has previewed large premium cabins on these aircraft. While the specific configurations are not yet known, it is likely there will be two, with the first announced to have approximately 50 Delta One Business-class seats. The second configuration is expected to have around 70 seats, with a premium focus, and is unlikely to be announced for a while.
