Arrow 50 A350 and 330 for Delta Airlines ...

... for all those who thought that EK cancellation of the 350 was a fatal blow to Airbus.


Don't worry, they found new customers.


For Delta, 25 of each (350 and 330) both of the -900 version.


So the 330 is still alive also, helped in that by all the 787 misfortunes.

There's a lot more life is the A330 yet. Many NEO orders to come especially from Asia.

Sand hound
What qualifications do you have that makes you eligible to judge the top two aircraft manufacturer ? I am really curious

Now it may be a case of gross mistaken identity Sandhound but hasn't your national carrier - once a staunch Airbus customer - now chosen the 77W as its long haul flagship?

Sandhound...reading Flight Global's article...seems Delta opted for the "Bus because 787 delivery slots weren't available...

Partly why: Boeing blames delivery schedule for Delta A350 deal - 11/21/2014 - Flight Global

Like Ironbutt57 said.

Soundhound...one of, if not the world's largest Airbus fleets is the 320 family as United...

You won't get me to bite I am afraid. I am more than happy on the tractor.

More importantly however... Is it really you TG?

Eh Colonel, the Roller is the only engine available for the 350! Doubt they were going to operate them as gliders

If you need hardware at a defined time, you have to take what's available.

That counts for Delta if no Dreamliner slots are free and that counts for Airbus if they can't get their hands on the GE9X.
