Delta Air Lines recently placed an order for up to 60 Boeing 787-10s, which will be delivered as of 2031. This is a major development for the airline, given the carrier’s wide body fleet renewal has otherwise been centered around Airbus jets, making this a big win for Boeing.
However, rumors now suggest that we could now see another aircraft order from Delta, and one certainly wonders what that could entail. Let me share what’s rumored, and my speculation…
That’s because Delta plans to take delivery of Airbus A350-1000s in 2027 and 2028 (at this point deliveries may realistically stretch into 2029, given delays), while the Boeing 787-10s will only be delivered as of 2031.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
