As the US travel market slowly rebounds from COVID-19, Delta Airlines has confirmed its placed a multi-million dollar order with Airbus

The carrier says it’s ordered 30 new aircraft of the A321neo type from the EU plane maker.

The latest order brings additional power to Delta’s strong fleet of A321 narrow body jets, with the airliner already operating 120 of the models.

“Adding these aircraft strengthens Delta’s commitment to replacing older fleets with more sustainable, efficient jets, and offering the best customer experience in the industry. Delta appreciates the extensive partnership with the Airbus team in support of our strategic growth plans, and we look forward to continuing to work together throughout the recovery and beyond.”

The Airbus A321neo has been a popular aircraft, with many planes from the core aircraft, the A321LR and A321XLR aircraft being ordered by airlines worldwide

Delta is already an avid user of the A321ceo, with over 120 in its fleet. While it is yet to take an A321neo, the airline now has 155 of the aircraft on order, alongside A220s, A330s, and A350s.

Delta expects to take delivery of its first A321neo in the first half of 2022.

What you can expect on Delta’s new jets

194 seats will be installed in each Airbus A321neo aircraft operated by Delta Airways, split across three classes within the cabin.

Delta revealed that it is primarily planning to operate the A321neo on its domestic network. This would fit with the airline’s current A321ceo network, which sees the jet flying domestically, with a few flights to destinations in the Caribbean according to the airline’s August 2021 A321 schedule.

Tesla’s brand value plummeted to $27.61 billion in 2025 amid Musk’s political shift, sparking investor concern.

Tesla’s brand value plummeted by $15.4 billion in 2025, falling to $27.61 billion from $66.2 billion in early 2023. Analysts say Elon Musk’s political focus and a slowdown in new models have distracted the company’s core business.

In the U.S., Tesla’s recommendation score sank to just 4 out of 10, down from 8.2 in 2023. Despite this, loyalty among existing owners remains high at 92 per cent, showing a strong but shrinking fan base.
