Delta took delivery of its first Airbus A220 in
October 2018, and was the first U.S. carrier to operate the
aircraft type. As of the end of June 2022, Delta was operating a
fleet of 388 Airbus aircraft, including 56 A220 aircraft, 249 A320
Family aircraft, 57 A330s and 26 A350-900 aircraft.

and it is great to announce this incremental order that
demonstrates how satisfied it is with the A220, economically and
from a passenger perspective,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus
Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International. “On top
of that, the versatility of this aircraft with the long range and
short airfield performance makes it a real winner for our
customers. Thank you Delta for your confidence in further
expanding your fleet with all our new generation aircraft!”
