The first of Delta’s swanky new Airbus A321neos have entered service, flying passengers from Boston to San Francisco on Friday morning. Delta has more than 150 of the jets arriving from Mobile, Alabama, by 2027. Initially, the airline will deploy the planes from Boston’s Logan Airport (BOS) to domestic destinations such as San Francisco, San Diego, Denver, and Seattle.
Delta expects A321neos by 2027
Delta began ordering its A321neos back in 2017, bulking up the order more recently to 155 planes. This year, Delta Air Lines expects to receive twenty-five A3210neo jets. Alongside Delta’s extensive Airbus A321ceo fleet, the airline will operate 282 aircraft from the A321 family by the end of the decade,
“The delivery of our first A321neo helps usher in the next era of premium domestic service at Delta,” said Mahendra Nair, Delta’s Senior Vice President of Fleet and Tech Ops Supply Chain, when Airbus handed over the first A321neo to Delta in March.
“Not only do these aircraft offer the best customer experience in the industry, but these fuel-efficient airplanes further demonstrate our commitment to a more sustainable future.”
