Latam airlines has announced it is retiring 11-A359's. This is being discussed in the Latam bankruptcy thread.

Jump to postIt would appear they may have made some bad fleet decisions. Why else would they get rid of 737's and 777's there were barely over ten years old? The 787 is a category of its own.

Jump to postWe will have to wait and see how future Delta leaders view Anderson's peculiar choice of the A330neo.
