Delta adds Boeing 787 Dreamliner to widebody fleet
After over a decade of ordering Airbus widebodies exclusively for over a decade, Delta is returning to Boeing with a 787-10 Dreamliner order. These aircraft will be powered by General Electric GEnx engines, which Delta will now be an MRO provider. I have been waiting for this order to come since forever, and now it is finally becoming a reality. This is a huge victory for Boeing and Delta frequent flyers like me.
Apparently, other than the GE GEnx MRO deal, I have heard that the Airbus A330neos have fallen short of performance and reliability expectations, which may have tilted the scales towards this Boeing 787-10 order. The A330neo program might now be in jeopardy as one of its staple customers has switched to its competitor.
