Yes by that story some would be 350-1000's as they only have 5 900's left to be delivered.

So between now and 2025 if we receive all these planes, the 33 330-900 left to be delivered and the additional 10 options we have from our 350 order that’s 58 widebody deliveries in the next 6 years
Yes there will be 767 parked, however delta has still been pushing for the 797 which if it gets launched could replace those 1 for 1 and then some while the 321-neo replace the 757
I believe this is positive news

So, Delta steals one of AA's partners, gets 14 350's from another carrier, gets a partnership with the largest carrier in SA (115 new destinations!), gets a board spot (with Qatar now owning half as much as Delta, that's huge), and dumps a lagging GOL partnership. Huge win.

LATAM gets their planes taken, gives up a large share of their internal power balance to a foreign carrier, has to go through the huge process of changing their alliance away from one of the US's two biggest carriers to the other, all for about $2B.

Maybe I'm just not understanding, but what does LATAM get from this? It just seems like a huge give from them for what could be a big payout in international stability in the long run, but honestly $2B just doesn't seem like enough for all that. What's the catch?

Latam really needs the money right now as they got hosed on currency exchange rates over the last two years, they don't really have demand to fill with those a350's, keep in mind this deal was done in 3 months with basically no rumors so it was clearly a rushed deal likely because they need the cash now, especially with a dollar that's currently getting stronger as they sell tickets in their local currency but buy them and planes with dollars.

24 hours ago nobody on this forum even knew we were entering into a JV with LATAM let alone inheriting 350s. And here we are asking this same group of people what day they show up here.

Not entering a JV yet, and will be interesting to see if we try to and if it’s approved. American already tried and was shot down by the Chilean government. As of right now it appears as planes, board seats, and codeshare. Should get interesting.

What does LATAM get? My guess...they get to stay in business.

It's just a guess based on how long these types of deals usually take. The chances of a random pilot on a the interwebs being correct is about the same as crew resources getting the staffing right on one large AE per year...

I hope I'm wrong and we have additional 350 seats on the next AE. Maybe the Sept AE was just NB because they were expecting this deal to be announced.

Latam gets access to the best United States domestic airline. Yes we will see more latam planes in Atlanta nyc lax maybe even dtw but what we will be able to do in South America feeding their customers will far outweigh it imo

Next ae should be one of the best we have seen with both 330 and 350 coming next year
