Delta said to consider delaying US$3b Airbus order
Chicago
DELTA Air Lines Inc is considering postponing delivery of 10 Airbus SE A350 jetliners valued at about US$3 billion, even as the carrier prepares for the first arrival of the new flagship aircraft, people familiar with the plans said.
While Delta will take five A350-900s this year as planned, it wants to postpone deliveries slated for 2019 and 2020 by three years, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified since the talks are private.
