“We’re in the process of either choosing a 787-9 or an A350-900. The important thing about that is that fleet is going to unlock the longer haul markets.”
Delta began evaluating options for an up to 50 widebody aircraft order to replace the 16 Boeing 747-400s and majority of the 58 Boeing 767-300ERs in its fleet in April.
