Earlier, on January 27, Delta Air Lines reiterated its plans to expand and modernize its international fleet. The company confirmed plans to purchase 31 Airbus wide-body jets as it seeks to address strong demand from corporate and high-income travelers.

The airline has already placed orders for 16 A330-900s and 15 A350-900s, with deliveries scheduled for 2029. In addition, the new deal combines a new order that will result in the conversion of 10 previously held options into firm purchases. It also includes options for 20 additional wide-body aircraft. The new aircraft are to be used for medium and long-haul flights.

It is also in the process of replacing older Boeing 767s and early-generation Airbus A330s. The push is part of an effort to capitalize on resilient premium international demand.
