Delta Air Lines has officially ordered the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, adding the popular widebody aircraft type to its longhaul fleet for the first time.
Per Delta, “The 787-10 is an ideal addition to Delta’s Transatlantic and South American network, offering 25% better fuel efficiency per seat, more capacity, larger premium cabins, and enhanced cargo capability compared to the previous generation widebody aircraft it will replace.”
Delta already operates a diverse longhaul fleet, including Airbus A330s, A350s, and Boeing 767 aircraft. The 787-10 will give Delta a high-capacity, fuel-efficient widebody designed for intercontinental travel, though with less range than the smaller 787 variants.
