Airways Magazine just posted photos of the new 767-400 Delta One Seat. It is indeed a "suite lite" with no doors.

I would mostly look at what changes were made to the A320neo and A330neo. Obviously, engines would be the largest change. Changes to the landing gear may be necessary if the new engines have a larger diameter. Aerodynamic efficiencies will likely be made to the wings but I highly doubt Airbus will p...
Jump to postI would not be shocked to see all Delta 772s, 77E and 77L alike, replaced by 359s by around 2025.

Jump to postWhy would Delta put a 339 vs a 333 on a route? I think for the first few frames the A339 will be preferred on Asian routes to have a consistent product on all Asia flights. As more and more A339s are delivered we will begin to see Delta put them on routes where economics benefit the A339 over the A...

So the A220 is confirmed to have AVOD? I find that surprising on such a small aircraft.
As they take delivery of the A321 are they retiring B757 at the same time? 757 retirement has slowed down/stopped for now. Currently, MD-88s and MD-90s are leaving the fleet in great numbers. N918DL and N965DN were both retired this week alone. Two A321s were delivered yesterday from Mobile and Ham...

Not any time soon. They are content with the A330 and A350-900 for most of their future wide-body fleet. They *could* order the A350-1000 to keep type commonality. The 777X just isn't designed for American carriers. The only way I see one of the US3 airlines getting the 777X at the end of the line l...

Jump to postI don't have much to add, but I want to praise BN727227Ultra for saying "tha ATL".
Delta doesn't want another commercial airport so another commercial airport will not be made. Delta is king in tha ATL. Especially after the city's major mess up with the power outage.
