Delta absorbs order for 10 Airbus A350 jets cancelled by Latam: sources
PARIS (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines (DAL.N) has taken over an order worth roughly $3 billion at list prices for 10 Airbus (AIR.PA) A350 jetliners from Latam Airlines Group LTM.S), two industry sources said. Airbus announced the cancellation of 10 A350 aircraft in a monthly order update last week. It also announced a simultaneous order for 10 A350 aircraft from an undisclosed airline.

Delta should NEVER receive any government funds
This will bring Delta's total A350 order to 39. What is not specified is will this be the A350-1000. I believe this is the model that is the bulk of the remaining LATAM order.
Do you think Delta is angling to phase-out its Boeing planes? They have embraced the A330. They are buying more A350s. They have added A32x offerings. They are a launch partner for the A220... And Boeing has really failed to deliver anything meaningful about its 757 replacement.
They have also accelerated the retirement of their older McDonnell-Douglas offerings, save for the 717 (which might easily be phased-out by the A220).
Finding buyers for their planes might be tough in the current market, but there are plenty of airlines flying the 737s and 777s to sell well-maintained equipment to.
To my eye, these moves by Delta don't bode well for Boeing.
