How Delta and Boeing resemble partners in a troubled marriage:
In 2018 Delta proclaimed the Airbus A350 is the flagship of its fleet, replacing the Boeing 747.During the decade of the 2010s, Delta Air Lines and Boeing, partners who need each other, have engaged in a fractious relationship.
“The MAX is a good product, I'm not dismissing it,” Bastian said. “It's a very competitive tool that [Boeing] has. We looked at all aspects of performance. We looked at the customer view of the product. We looked at the cost from [Boeing and Airbus]. We looked at the engine deal. We looked at what we were able to do with Pratt & Whitney on the geared turbofan and the commitments that we've received in the A321neo. So, it was a comprehensive review.
Delta’s fleet of 916 aircraft still tilts toward Boeing, with 513 Boeing aircraft as well as 108 aircraft built by Boeing predecessor McDonnell Douglas, according to website planespotters.net. “We are still a large significant Boeing equipment operator, “said Delta spokesman Morgan Durant. However, Durant said, “Our order book of new 737-900ERs, initially placed in 2011, is now fulfilled.
The U.S. carriers contend the Mideast carriers are dumping seats. Boeing generally sat out the battle between its airline customers, but the argument often advanced in favor of the Mideast carriers is that by buying Boeing aircraft, they provide U.S. jobs.
