Delta Air Lines has chosen Airbus to meet its needs for modern  efficient widebodies having placed a first order for 20 A350-1000 aircraft. The A350-1000 will  be a new aircraft type in Delta’s fleet. 

“We are thankful for Delta’s continued confidence in Airbus’ solutions to meet its fleet needs,”  said Christian Scherer, Chief Executive Officer of the Commercial Aircraft business, Airbus.  “Delta was the first U.S. airline to operate the A350-900, and is doing so with great success.  Delta now welcomes the A350-1000, which will open even more opportunities for the airline  and its customers. We are proud that our aircraft serve the entirety of Delta’s impressive global  network as this stellar airline takes fleet efficiency to the next level.”

“The A350-1000 will be the largest, most capable aircraft in Delta’s fleet and is an important  step forward for our international expansion,” said Ed Bastian, Delta’s chief executive officer.  “The aircraft complements our fleet and offers an elevated customer experience, with more  premium seats and best-in-class amenities, as well as expanded cargo capabilities.”

Delta Air Lines currently operates more than 450 Airbus aircraft from all of the Airbus product  families from the A220 to the A350-900, with more than 200 additional on order.

Once added to the fleet, Delta will benefit from the A350-1000’s operational efficiency, which  results in reduced fuel burn and emissions and lower operating and maintenance costs, while  passengers will enjoy the comfort of the Airbus Airspace cabin with its spacious and quiet  cabin, wide seats, high ceilings and customizable ambient lighting designed to reduce fatigue  and jet-lag on long flights.

The A350 is the world’s most modern and efficient widebody aircraft and the long range leader  in the 300-410 seater category, flying efficiently on any sector from short-haul to ultra-long haul routes up to 9,700nm. Its clean sheet design includes state-of-the-art technologies,  aerodynamics, lightweight materials and latest generation engines that together deliver 25%  advantage in fuel burn, operating costs and CO₂ emissions, as well as 50% noise footprint  reduction compared to previous generation competitor aircraft.

The A350 has more than 1,206 orders from 58 customers from around the world.
