My guess is Delta's orders through 2030 are:
100 A225
50-100 addition A321neo/A321XLR
30 A350neo with Ultrafan.

A320 Fleet
Main doors (1LR and Rear LR): 1829x829 mm or 72 x 32
A321
Emergency Exit Doors
2L: Size: 1854 x 762 mm (73.0 x 30.0 in.)
2R, 3LR: Size: 1524 x 762 mm (60.0 x 30.0 in.)
The 2L forward emergency exit door is usable as a normal passenger/crew door
That would be nice, eh?
757
Book I show says 1L and 2L are 72 x 33.
Doesn’t seem to show it in mm. Odd.

I like what someone said when Trump walked in front of the Queen for a brief moment... don’t worry, he’s got a permission slip signed by Thomas Jefferson and 55 others.
