Delta Orders 30 A321neo Planes from Airbus

Delta said Tuesday that it had ordered 30 additional A321neo jets from Airbus.

The move comes as the carrier continues to upgrade its fleet as it prepares for a continued rebound in travel.

“Adding these aircraft strengthens Delta’s commitment to replacing older fleets with more sustainable, fuel-efficient jets,” said the airline’s senior vice president in charge of its fleet, Mahendra Nair.

Delta’s orders for A321neos total 155. All are powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G turbofan engines.

The carrier expects to receive its first A321neo early next year.

Delta’s A321neos have a first-class cabin with seating for 20, a Comfort+ premium economy-lite cabin with 42 seats, and 132 seats in coach.
