2 777’s (coming early 2020)
15 787’s (spread throughout the year but mostly fall or earlier)
And 28 Max’s (in addition to the 16 that were supposed to be delivered by the end of this year). But who knows when those were actually be able to fly.
Those are only new aircraft. We also have 19 used 737NGs starting with 2 in Q4 and more used 319s trickling in.
