Delta's BIG Plans For Airbus Just SHOCKED Everyone!

Delta Airlines, unlike its rivals, has been making use of a different strategy where it’s looking to adopt Airbus for the majority of its fleet.
This comes as a shock as Most US legacy airlines today operate mostly Boeing fleets for numerous reasons, some more obvious than others.

Delta, by far, transitioning into the nicest streamlined US Fleet, besides the Best managed Airline in the US❤

Any chance that Boeing had with Delta went out the window when they tried to block the Bombardier deal. Boeing gave Airbus a new plane and the world's biggest airline in one stupid move.

Only in Airbus we trust🥰😍❤️

I used to be a Boeing guy but now Airbus for life

[@alalfred3474]

In addition to Airbus’ better plane designs and quality, Delta was double crossed by Boeing when Delta ordered A220 from Bombardes. Boeing petitioned for counter veiling duties on these planes. Last minute maneuver with Airbus enabled Airbus to obtain the C300 for practically nothing and avoided punitive duties. Clearly, Boeing veered from its commercial airplane root and relied on government relations to gain commercial advantages. This change reflected on both commercial and military business. No wonder Boeing is not doing well in both markets.

Airbus is the Mercedes under the passenger planes.

If it’s a Boeing, I ain’t going.

[@matthewtorchiana6418]

Shouldn't people be asking; "Is there an Anti-Airbus sentiment amoung US airlines?" Alaska got rid of the Airbus models they inherited from Virgin, and wouldn't that come to damage them with additional financial losses when the Max models they had and were on order were grounded and delayed respectively. Delta was able to read the tea leaves, and time will tell, but ion the meantime, they will remain profitable.

The 220 is a comfortable aircraft.

Love the little 221 rocket

[@geordiegeorge9041]

Only a foolish airline would choose a manufacturer that has quality control problems like BOEING.

[@michaelflinn7784]

Well done Delta. With Boeing cutting corners and putting my safety at risk, I'm not setting foot on a Boeing ever again.

[@pesawatindonesia]

Great sharing!

[@PeteSty]

Aren't Airbuses also made in the US (at least assembled) while Boeing farms out everything.

[@AshNorton747]

I don't know why they switched to airbus? they used boeing and douglas

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

You really don’t know?

[@FrankRuiz66]

Airbus is the greyhound bus in the sky. Oh and they love to crash into the oceans around the earth.

[@idanceforpennies281]

Any airline that exclusively welds themselves to Boeing is just twisting in the breeze at this point. Even when Boeing starts production of an new aircraft, the faults and shit quality always delays production output and gives the airlines other operational headaches.

[@rickwhite4137]

It might have a lot to do with Boeing's lack of security.

[@ChuckConnNYC]

Stick with airbus, DL!

[@iangill8984]

Sadly for Boeing, the horse has bolted. It is a shame, the vast majority of my flights are on Boeing aircraft but admit that I prefer airbus.
