Delta Extends Airbus A220 Order Book to 90 Total Aircraft
Delta has reached an agreement with Airbus to extend its order book of the highly efficient, state-of-the-art A220 by 15 aircraft to a total of 90. Delta's future A220 fleet will consist of 40 A220-100 series aircraft and the remaining 50 will be the larger A220-300 variant. Delta anticipates taking its first delivery of the A220-300 in 2020.

I can't wait to see these in action! Not living in Texas, I hope there are going to be more routes besides the coasts to Texas that these are used for. Anyone know the route plans for the -300s?
I believe the first group to launch will be the 100 series, and those (predictably) will be in and out of AA/ UAL hubs.....Houston, DFW, as well as the NY-BOS shuttle. My guess is (given their limited gates) the next target will be in and out of ORD with the 300 series.
There is talk of a larger model on the drawing board.
That makes sense! Thanks Scott.
At some point as DL acquires more 220's they'll plop them on the home bases, but for now there's zero incentive to base them in SLC, MSP, or ATL for that matter. They already own those markets. IAD, CLT, and PHL would also be logical candidates I suppose. I'll call Bastian or Tim Mapes and let you know LOL!
Oh tell Bastian and Tim I say hi! LOL!
Tell them thanks for my retirement check arriving on time every month.
