Yep, so the point stands that by 2026 we will have fewer totals widebodies than we did in 2019. If you’re an optimist, you say that means another order is coming. Silver linings is that there are more higher paying widebodies (above ER rates)

If the price is right what is the possibility of Delta picking up the 6 or 7 completed A330-900s NTU by AirAsia?

Delta can get all the A330-900’s they need. Sales are horrible. Delta buys jets based on networks planned routes. If they need them they will get them.

And network includes our subsidiary carriers in those decisions. Total network per se.

Must be true because if it were just made up the number would be a least double that. 🙄🤣😂

I heard it too, from several sources (option for 50 is what I heard). I am not being funny. I do know that IQ slides are being developed for planes NOT on property (Pretty sure they're not for IL-96s).
