From TG on the deliveries, as of Sep 2019
“The A330-900NEO is up and running. Due to delivery delays Delta scheduled the 330NEO to begin service July 15, 2019 instead of July 1.
As we were getting ready for the 15th it was determined that the jet would be ready before that date. Delta decided to enter service on July 10th. Our team (including many other Delta divisional teams) leapt into action to make the rollout a success.
Our 1st 330NEO entered service on the 10th and the second on the 11th. Another outstanding job by the Flight Ops team and all the other divisions that rose to the occasion and did so flawlessly. Two more 330NEO’s are slated for delivery this year.
2020 will be another busy year as we have been informed that Delta will take delivery of 7 A330-900 next year up from the 4 originally planned. 2021 delivery schedule is planned for 11 aircraft increased from 9.
The total order book for the -900 has increased to 37 from 35 through 2024.”
