Delta Air Lines has placed a major new widebody order with Boeing, committing to 30 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners with options for up to 30 more, supporting the airline’s long-haul growth and fleet renewal. This marks Delta’s first direct 787 order and brings its total Boeing order book to 130 aircraft, including 100 737-10s.
The 787-10, with capacity for up to 336 passengers, uses 25% less fuel than the aircraft it replaces and offers larger windows and lower cabin altitude for greater passenger comfort. Delta CEO Ed Bastian said: “Delta is building the fleet for the future, enhancing the customer experience, driving operational improvements and replacing less efficient aircraft.”
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope added: “The 787-10’s efficiency, range and passenger comfort make it a perfect fit for Delta’s international expansion and fleet modernisation.”
With more than 460 Boeing aircraft in service, Delta continues a decades-long partnership with the US manufacturer. The new Dreamliners will strengthen Delta’s international network while supporting US aerospace jobs and sustainability goals.
