Delta Air Lines has "firmed up" an order for 12 Airbus A220-300 aircraft, taking the carrier's overall order for A220s to 119, the two companies announced on January 18.
"These 12 additional A220 aircraft will help power our increasingly streamlined fleet while also providing our customers with the elevated in-flight experience they’ve come to expect from Delta,” said Kristen Bojko, vice president of fleet at Delta, which operates over 400 Airbus jets.
“Delta Air Lines was the US launch customer for the A220 and this fourth reorder in just four years by a leading carrier as Delta is a most gratifying endorsement,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus chief commercial officer and head of international.
