Why Delta Airlines Fleet Is Airbus-heavy?? Goodbye Boeing...
Delta Air Lines has expanded its fleet with an order for 20 Airbus A3 50-1000’s, set to become the largest aircraft in its lineup and the carrier's new flagship, featuring top-tier premium offerings. This acquisition means Delta will fly a broad range of Airbus' current models, from the compact A2 20-100 to the expansive A3 50-1000. Unlike its American counterparts, which favor Boeing, Delta's choice reflects a strategic preference for the European manufacturer's aircraft. So, find out in this episode of Flig Avia: why Delta Airlines is choosing Airbus over Boeing?

Why Delta Airlines Fleet Is Airbus-heavy?? Goodbye Boeing...
First reason
When it comes to the first reason, we need to trace back to the merger between Delta and Northwest Airlines at the end of 2009. Historically, Delta predominantly operated Boeing aircraft, including models like the 7 4 7 and triple 7, and continues to fly the 7 1 7, 7 3 7, 7 5 7, and 7 6 7. And then, a significant portion of Delta's A3 30 fleet came from Northwest Airlines after the merger. Satisfied with its performance, Delta expanded its A3 30 fleet with additional orders. This decision marked a pivotal shift in Delta's preference from Boeing to Airbus aircraft.

In a statement from 20 15, celebrating the arrival of the first A3 30-300 ordered by Delta, the airline highlighted that the new A3 30-300’s were 15-25 percent more fuel-efficient per seat compared to the older Boeing 7 6 7-300’s and 7 4 7-400’s they were replacing.
"The new A330-300s are 15-25% more fuel efficient per seat than the Boeing 767-300s and 747-400s they will replace."
They obviously think of their customers safety and their own economics. Its nice to see an American airline, not be swayed by all the US Governments aids to buying American.
To be honest, if I were a CEO of an Airline, I would be very wary of that Boeing management ethos,(Wall Street first, safety last) it could come back to bite me very hard.
agrreed plus boeing has no answer for the A321neo and A350 unless they add range and payload to 787-9/-10
@Kevinksk92 Well, the 777X is sort of a combatant to the A350, but it still hasn't been certified, and it's less efficient. They both operate in the same market, and the A350 just does it better. The only thing the 777X has on the A350 is seat capacity, but it's not a large difference
@@Prodagist i agree and i just think imo its not gonna see the light of day
Only in Airbus we trust 😍🥰❤️
thanks for your feedback
Say it again and again I don’t trust Airbus
Payback/Karma, I think they did not appreciate when Boeing thugs tried to bully them out of their deal for the C-Series/A220 😂
Spot on! I'd forgotten about that.
Trump tariffs against Bombardier, Canadians, returned favour cancelled Boeing F-18A. Deep Canadian memory of AE Reo Avero, back 1958!
Love the A330 neo.
Thanks for your comment ✈️
8 abreast 330 is my personal favourite seat arrangement.
Delta management is top tier.
✈️✈️✈️
If you order a Boeing you just join a massive waiting list, followed by terrible uncertainty over groundings and shit quality. Only 38 737s are produced each month. Only 5 787s are produced each month (!). Because of quality problems. And Airbus' are just better aircraft - more efficient and also more popular with passengers and crew.
thanks for your sharing
Idc I avoid Airbus
Mistake: the 747-400s were not Delta planes !! They were in the Northwest fleet and painted delta after the merger w NW. Delta flew a few 747-100 in the 70s and then never again
nice thanks for your feedback!
It must be noted that Richard Anderson was the CEO of Northwest during its conversion to Airbus 330 widened jets. He left Northwest and was eventually Delta's CEO when the Delta/Northwest merger happened. He remained the CEO and was a strong influence in transitioning Delta from a predominately Boeing fleet to a predominately Airbus fleet.
While Northwest had 747s and 757s from Boeing, the workhorse of their fleet was the DC-9. They also were gradually introducing narrowbody Airbus aircraft to their mainline fleet.
Delta was predominately Boeing but also had MD 80s aircraft in its fleet preserver.
thanks for sharing
The retirement of the old 767-300 will be a mixed bag as the 1st class seats are the worse. But economy 2-3-2 seating is preferred.
yep thanks for your feedback
A very smart decision in light of Boeing's horrible quality-assurance record.
Great to know I avoid Airbus
There are a number of arlines in the US that choose predominantly Airbus aircraft. Namely JETBLUE, SPIRIT, FRONTIER, BREEZE; and there were VIRGIN AMERICA and ALLEGIANT, the former being swallowed by Seattle based and Boeing minded ALASKA Airlines, the latter having placed a large B order lately. The largest of all Airbus narrowbody fleets in the US is owned not by DELTA, but by AMERICAN (about 480 units plus 135 more on order). United has 179 A320 family planes in its fleet and 207 more incoming. Airbus is indeed strong at DELTA, but its influence in the procurement strategies of US based airline companies is much stronger than suggested by the video.
thanks for your sharing
I really wish a Lockheed would bring back the Al 1011. The best American passenger aircraft conceived. I’m sure today’s version would only be two engines.
yep same ✈️✈️✈️
What happened to the HUGE A330neo’s order? They only have 12 more in their order book, last year Delta supposedly were order hundreds more, they only ordered A350-1000 20/ w ops for 20 more and nothing else
One may think an American carrier may opt for American Boeing, if air bus could provide a more viable solution, also with the quality issue of Boeing, having a foreign supplier may sound logical. I am certain there are American components in air bus aircrafts.
yeah thanks for your comment
The video says it all: Delta merged with an airline with a huge Airbus fleet in Northwest. As such, it made more sense for Delta to continue flying Airbus planes. And it appears Delta may be looking at large A330-900neo and A320 Family orders to tet rid of the older Airbus jets.
thanks for your comment ✈️
Delta A350 was so awesome!! Much much better than AA B787!!!
yeah, great to see delta's A350
I’ll guess one is safety
yeah you got the point
✈️
✈️✈️✈️
what are you saying makes sense going from the 330 to 350 what it doesn’t make sense to go from the 767 to the A330. The 767 to the 787 for pilots familiarity makes more sense to go to the 787-9 that makes sense.
Thanks for your comment ❤
Are they going to still use boeing planes
yes
A smart business will never put "its eggs in one bag". If I was runnning an airline I would always buy 50, 50. 50% from Boeing and 50% from Airbus - irrespective of the "current" Boeing's misfortunes. There is no gaurrantee that Airbus will not have its woes in the future.
yeah thanks for your sharing
narrator was wrong united has A350 on order
Serán entregados 7 años después
Thanks
If they ever get around to it. United has over 100 options on the 787, so the A350 need is not so pressing (yet).
@@Sacto1654 yeah prob not getting them but have em on order
@@AndresDeLaTorre-xv7wy still ordered them tho
Look out for the C929 and C939, coming soon from China 😮
They won't be sold outside China foreseeable future.
Qatar no dicho nada pidió no hace mucho 787 777 y es lanzamientos del carguero 777
Thanks for your feedback
I think they would be better with Embraer E2 195 instead A220.
new embraers are too heavy
@Kevinksk92 They are the most advanced airplanes for midium range distance already proved not to mention the cost for fuel and maintenance. America airlines just bought around 100 just last month and the Canadian Porter Airline did the same. Delta should not put all its cards on Airbus, just saying.
@@apapahristodoulou Well, the airlines currently in trouble are those who put all their cards on Boeing!
Regarding Embraer, we should notice that their (apparently good) aircraft are positioned BELOW the A220 segment: they have a narrow fuselage, providing only 2-2 seating, and have much less range. The A220 offer 2-3 seating which allows for a larger PAX capacity without stretching the tube too much. DELTA has been building a lot of additional operational flexibility by radically reducing the number of aircraft families (and corresponding pilot and cabin crew pools) in their fleet, with a few more to go. There is no need for DELTA to "lufthansadize" their fleet and start again buying everything what is around.
Boeing 777X appeal Made me Lose interest on A330Neos so badly. I could probably Hate Delta because it's not able to operate 787s and 777X. I would Choose Emirates instead!
777x like the max 10 are never flying and no need for 777x
NOBODY does operate any 777X since your technology-hero and appeal-creator Boeing was not yet able to get that type certified.
@@KlausErmecke no shit genius !! thanks for the idiotic response
As always fanboys trying to trash Boeing with the most bs reason.
@@WorstAviationUA-camr lmfao boeing sucks the planes they make are terrible and decided to put bankrupt mcdonal douglass in charge and gone down hill every sense ,..hows is the intelligent reasoning?
Narration is so off-putting.
thanks for your feedback
too many errors in this "video"... thumbs down
