Delta saying “GOODBYE” to Boeing and turning to Airbus
Delta Airlines used to be one of the major operators of Boeing aircraft from the early stage of the airline starting in 1970 when Delta received its first Boeing jetliner, the 747. However, as time goes by, Delta has been defined as an Airbus-heavy airline for several recent years and seems to start losing interest in Boeing. Do you know what it means? It means Delta is saying goodbye to Boeing and turning to Airbus. Here’s why:
Delta saying “GOODBYE” to Boeing and turning to Airbus! Here's Why. First of all, Why is Delta saying goodbye to Boeing? The reasons on Boeing’s side are quite understandable since their aircraft have been facing multiple structural issues recently that led to a considerable number of not only troubles but also fatalities. The 737 max series is probably the most notable case among multiple scandals that Boeing has caught up in since it caused 2 crashes and a total of 346 deaths within just 5 months.
Delta saying “GOODBYE” to Boeing and turning to Airbus! Here's Why. On January 5 this year, another incident happened on the 737 max 9 in which a door panel flew off mid-flight and the reason was determined by a US safety board to be due to 4 missing key bolts. Not only the 737 Max series but also other Boeing models were caught up in troubles constantly due to structural issues

[@cargopilot747]

Another big factor in Delta's decision was that Boeing didn't like Delta buying the A220, which they saw as a competitor to their smallest 737. Boeing cried to the US Dept. of Commerce, lobbying them to impose a 300% import tariff on each A220 sold in the US! They didn't want Delta to receive a superior aircraft at a lower price than Boeing's 60-year-old design. Airbus responded by building a factory in Alabama for the final assembly of some A220 and 320 models. Delta responded by not ordering more Boeings. And for the uninformed folks who think Boeing is a US company and Airbus is European, learn facts. Both are multinational companies with parts built in dozens of countries. They have to be because various nations won't buy the airliners unless workers in their countries are paid to produce some components.

[@tomdavis8757]

Ironic that the hottest Airbus is a plane but designed by Airbus. Obviously it’s the A220 from Bombardier. Either way the MAX 7 isn’t anywhere near certification (which is killing Southwest) so the A220 wins in availability as well

[@cmartin_ok]

The basic 737 design is decades old and the latest generation of engines didn't really fit it. Instead of designing a new plane to go with the new designs of engines, Boeing tried to adapt the old 737 to save costs whereas Airbus came up with totally new designs of planes. This is the fundamental issue of the current 737 designs - the entire plane needs a re-design but Boeing were chasing profits not good products, and look where it's gotten them

[@spades9048]

Airbus came up with totally new designs of planes? The A320 is a 40 year old program. The A330neo is based on the 50 year old A300. The A300B9 was the original designation of what would become the A330. Airbus has come up with two new clean sheet designs since 2000: The A350 and the A380. Boeing came out with one…the 787. Neither has produced a new clean sheet design of a narrowbody in decades. The A220 doesn’t count…that was already done by Bombardier - an excellent purchase decision but still not their design.

[@dmcr9525]

The only AIRBUS clean sheet designs are the A350 and A380. The A320Neo and the 737 MAX are cut from the same cloth.

[@dmcr9525]

These are NOT the reasons Delta has moved toward Airbus in the wide-body market and to a lesser extent the NEO in the narrow-body sector. Delta moved towards Airbus after the Northwest Merger, which was long before any of Boeing's issues posed up. Northwest was heavily Airbus, and Delta received heavy discounts for be a mainline US carrier to stick with them. all these issues you mention, yet say nothing about common Airbus problems like stuck control surfaces, major Pratt engine problems (not a cause of Airbus of course). They also plan on retiring the A319, and A320 for the 737 MAX and A321NEO. Delta has also decided, and stated that they want to be a launch customer for the Boeing NMA if and when it is ever launched.

[@777Outrigger]

Boeing was dumping on Delta long before the current flood of Boeing problems. As a retired Delta pilot, I've heard several stories from Line Check Airmen who occasionally met with Richard Anderson on the topic. When one asked him about Delta trying to rejigger Northwest's 787 orders, Anderson became visibly angry and refused to say anything. ... Other things as well. I know Delta will still consider Being offerings, but Boeing has lost a lot of sales from Delta over their past stupid treatment of Delta. Delta has fired some shots across the Boeing bow.

[@flyloose8546]

Diversifying their planes between Airbus and Boeing is smart, that way if one plane type is grounded then you still have other planes that can fly

[@cargopilot747]

Although I'm no fan of the 787, this presentation has multiple errors on that, starting at about 1:24. The first fire incidents were in January of 2013; one was JAL, and the other was ANA. These incidents caused the grounding. The Ethiopian Airlines incident was 6 months later - in July of 2013. That fire had nothing to do with the ship's two primary lithium-ion batteries. It was caused by a faulty ELT battery. That was also lithium-ion, but that same ELT battery is also installed in many other types of airliners. It's not unique to the 787.

Airbus will not want Boeing out of business, they cannot meet the airline demand and the airlines are not going to pay to retrain and modify their entire pilot and engineering crews. Not to mention the supply chain that feeds the airline’s engineering teams. Boeing needs to rebuild its trust not only with the flying public, but more importantly with the airlines. Airbus will be top dog for at least 10 years while Boeing rebuilds the damage its naive executives have done to a once great manufacturer.

[@Bnard617]

Corporate greed has brought down a lot of once great manufacturers. I have no doubt in my mind that Boeing can and will get it together. They need to start at the top with it's engineering team while focusing on implementing better QC checks on the production floor and once they become more sustainable then focus on ramping up production. It needs to be in that order to be successful, safety, quality then efficiencies.

[@simonlangmead7]

Even if both Airbus and Boeing were totally identical with manufacturing quality and technology. If either of them get sloppy with maintenance, it obviously creates a danger for anyone who is on it. So the question is, who is more likely to be meticulous with the maintenance of their aircraft, Boeing or Airbus? What about pilot and air crew training when any changes come around? The pilots of the 2 doomed 737 crashes were not even notified of the changes the engineers made when they took off, never mind training them for it. I’ll put my money on Airbus.

This video is bull. The engine issue and the windshield are common issues. Airbus currently has rolling groundings on its A220, and A320neo series aircraft, also with Pratt and Whitney aircraft. The Li bats on those two 787's were determined to be because the airlines were not using the right circuit breakers and haven't happened since. Oh, and Delta started to buy Airbus jets and shift towards an all-Airbus fleet all the way back in the early 2000's, just after their merger with Northwest, not after issues with the 787 or the 737MAX. Get your facts straight! And let's talk about some Airbus issues shall we. The A350 for instance has the same automation problems as the A330, and the A320 both of which have a number of famous flight control incidents that have never been fixed. Also the A350 is known for fuel leaks (which apparently is an Airbus thing as well). Then, Delta, which has a lot of long range routes, had to cancel some of them because the A350 cannot handle them like the 777. But...facts you know how cares right?

[@maryrafuse2297]

At the end of the day, at this time, Airbus is the better company. Better run with a superior product designed to serve both airlines and the people who travel on airliners. Boeing's arrogance in the way they, along with the Trump Government, sought to destroy Bombardier was telling. Boeing cares not how they achieve their maximum profits. If silly Boeing had bought the C Series, now A220, they would at least have a superior aircraft and the highly experienced Montreal workforce. My gut tells me this workforce could have been utilized to instruct less experienced Boeing workers. That said it is likely the Boeing workforce suffer mostly from CEO and Boardroom cost cutting.

Yes, Delta is shifting more towards Airbus, but they are far from becoming an all Airbus Airline and the likelihood of it happening is small. They have the 100 737-10 on order, but also they have more than 160 737-900ER that won't go anywhere anytime soon. Plus the 21 767-400ER that will be part of the fleet until at least into the 2030s. On top of the MAXes I can absolutely see Delta ordering the 787-10. Their widebody orders so far do not cover the whole fleet that needs replacement, and the 787-10 is a perfect fit. Also Delta repeatedly states that they are very interested in a Boeing 797/MOM. If Boeing launches this one maybe later this decade I can see Delta jumping on it.

[@vitoaditya8337]

I don't think they would be interested in the 787 anymore. The A330neo is one factor, and I don't see them placing orders after cancelling a previous 787-8 order in 2016. So as far as widebodies are concerned, they are more definitely comfortable with the A330neo and A350. Might hope they order A330-800neo after their A350-1000 order, though more -900neos could also be possible.

@@vitoaditya8337 787-8 is one thing, 787-10 another, also 2016 is one thing, 2024 another story. Airlines are upgauging capacity of airplanes all over the place, the A330-300s will be due for replacement starting from the late 2020s/early 2030s. They could sure order more A330-900s, but first the A330-900 means zero increase in capacity and second a huge airline like Delta needs to diversify and cannot rely only on one manufacturer. The 787-10 is a CASM beast on routes up to around 10 hours, which is most of the routes across the North Atlantic. So the 787-10 is the perfect plane for all those higher demand transatlantic routes, for example those into the Sky team Hubs AMS, CDG etc. Also it hauls a significant amount of cargo. I am very certain Delta will go for the 787-10 midterm.

Delta does not need a 787-10 which is able to do 14 hour missions, for those missions it has A350-900s.

_"Delta Airlines used to be one of the major operators of Boeing aircraft from the _*_early stages_*_ of the airline starting in 1970 when Delta received its first Boeing jetliner, the 747..."_ *1970* is hardly the _early stages_ of an airline that was founded during the pre-Depression era. Delta was historically a big *Douglas Aircraft* (later McDonald Douglas) operator. The airline rostered the world's largest fleet of *Lockheed* aircraft, and acquired its first *Airbus* aircraft from the defunct Pam Am early during the 1990s. Delta has historically operated fewer Boeings as a percentage of their total fleet, than either American or United.

I hate when people post videos about companies and people that they know nothing about . 😮 I grew up in the 70's and 80's and my mother was also a school teacher. In the "old" days when we had to write reports for classes, we did something called "research "! 😱 That mean't going to the library, checking out books on a subject, reading old newspaper and magazine articles, consulting the World Book Encyclopedia, watching news stories, or even writing letters to, or calling the actual person or entity to get information. People these days are too lazy to be bothered with such things. The news media no longer does it either. It used to be called investigative journalism. 🥺 Many airlines have official websites where you can get an accurate historical account of the company. When I interviewed with Delta for a position, one of the questions was, "what do you know about the company"? and the interviewer was shocked that I knew information, that most people don't know unless they do their homework. Posting inaccurate information makes them look stupid and it's an insult to those who know the truth. 😒

Easy way to clean-up Boeing. Same way in Australia we get random alcohol & drugg tested while driving, the FBI should walk into Boeing's Everett WA factory & just randomly test people 2 or 3 days a week. FBI & the FAA walk into the Boeing factory with the same equipment police in Australia, breathalyzers & lick sticks, use to screen drivers for alcohol & substances on the side of the road & randomly test the workers... EVEN THE BOARD MEMBERS. Randomly test the girls at reception too.... TEST EVERYBODY. We rely on planes to get us to our loved ones over vast distances, for me it's the Pacific Ocean. So FBI & FAA, start the random screening.... Flash your badges & walk in & start screening.

[@drdoolittle5724]

[@FLIGAVIA]

you can say that again

[@alalfred3474]

The primary reason for Delta‘s MAX 10 order is its existing hundreds of pilots and MRO network established for 737. The make in USA label also helps. Delta is large enough to maintain duopoly suppliers for its feet. Of course, if the A320 supply isn’t so tight, Delta probably will order more Airbus planes. Delta has been very shrewd in managing its fleet operation and renewal, much better than United and American. Both airlines are banking on B787 for its wide body fleets. B787 is a fine plane but with smaller capacity and is not well suited for slot restricted high volume routes. A350 offers a superior customer experience than B787, not to mention the manufacturing and quality issues associated with B787.

[@alexandergrigorov2594]

In 2023 alone DAL was biggest customer of AIB with deliveries across all programs aka A220, A320 family, A339 and A359.

Important to keep in mind minor issue happen all the time. There are thousands of flight a days, so a few minor issues is expected. Aircraft are designed to deal with failure and keep passenger safety as high as possible. (That being say Boeing still need to improve)

[@kevinrichard100]

Minor issues like deceit, not telling airlines about MCAS. Minor issues like being investigated by the FBI and then conveniently losing the documentation concerning door plug fitting, both paper and digital. Minor issues like fires. EEAS are considering the rejection of FAA Certification for Boeing making it invalid for Europe. Minor issue?

@@kevinrichard100 "Minor issues like deceit, not telling airlines about MCAS.

Obviously those are not minor issues and is unacceptable. but many of the issue cited above had nothing to do with boeing manufacturing. >EEAS are considering the rejection of FAA Certification Well i would be good if the FAA face justice they had audited and validated Boeing process for years yet they are not accountable somehow?

[@panam747]

That's why Mr. Clickbate Delta ordered lots of Max planes. Do your homework! DL gets what it can get cheap and has only 240 737s, and it's waiting for more!

[@tomdavis8757]

That order is under review as Boeing is not in compliance and cannot deliver on their end. Delta would love to have MAX 10’s but obviously that’s not happening any time soon. They can cancel their order.

[@xkr510]

I’m good with Delta moving towards Airbus. They build superior aircraft. I was a Boeing fan boy for years but after experiencing the A220 and A350 my mind has changed. Then came the MAX and that was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I’m flying next week and am travelling with JetBlue. I am paying more than I could but selected JetBlue because there is no chance of a Boeing being used. Flying on a MAX in my view is akin to having a death wish.

What about maintenance ? Once a product has been delivered, the airlines are having to take a lot of responsibility how the aircraft is being cared for. These days, even the ordinary customer is unpacking goods, throwing the manual in the bin with the packaging, hoping everything is set for selfcare, not even reading the section of possible warnings. Rudyard Kipling, an author from Victorian times, famously wrote "The Secret[...] of the Machines". One of the concluding verses should be learn by everyone, worldwide: "[...] But remember, please, the Law by which we live, We are not built to comprehend a lie, We can neither love nor pity nor forgive. If you make a slip in handling us you die ! [...]
