What company store?

We actually already had A321NEO orders (I believe for 10), but they swapped them for 320NEOs in 2015-ish...

Straight from the company store to the rumor mill.

That model has been available forever. We did have the 321neo on order and then was converted to 320's.

PARIS: Delta to take higher-weight A220
􏰁􏰂 | 􏰃􏰄
18 JUNE, 2019 | SOURCE: FLIGHT DASHBOARD | BY: DAVID KAMINSKI-MORROW | PARIS


US operator Delta Air Lines has become the first to select the higher maximum take-off weight version of the Airbus A220, as it expands its orders for the twinjet by another five.
Delta already has 50 A220-300s on order plus 40 of the smaller A220-100.
But it is ordering another five A220-100s, taking its total commitment to the former Bombardier CSeries to 95 aircraft.

Airbus recently disclosed that it was increasing the MTOW of both versions of the aircraft by nearly 2.3t, stretching the range by 450nm.
Delta has become the first to select this new higher-weight option for its entire fleet from 2020.
It placed its original order for 75 A220s – then the CSeries – in 2016, before hiking it to 90 last year. The aircraft are all powered by the Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engine.

Um, this is the Spirit forum. The Delta forum is a few up from us if you were wondering. Otherwise I’m not sure why we are to care about a Delta increased weight 220 order.

Foreshadowing?


And since when do these threads follow the OP a 100%?

When Airbus announced this version a few days ago they emphasized higher seating density vs more range.

The A220 higher gross weight version is the new A319neo flex cabin.

Think about what this plane could do going transcontinental or further south.

Spread away.

We're announcing nothing, as usual. Or maybe we'll announce another upgrade to the airline, not complete it or extend the deadline indefinitely? I present Wifi, uniform, paint jobs as examples.

Exactly. Don't forget that we announced a new jet bridge for ORD L11 three years ago and it just recently was installed.
