DL oeker longhaul-flaaten

[LN-MOW]

Delta skal (hvis godkjent av retten) overta 10 ex TWA 757-200 maskiner som idag operers av American. Disse er allerede ETOPS-klare - imotsetning til resten av DL's 757'er.

Delta to add 10 big jets next year
Move comes amid better outlook for ailing carriers, despite fuel costs

In its first addition of big jets since 9/11, Delta Air Lines plans to lease 10 extended-range jets that could fly to Hawaii or some spots in Europe.
Delta signed a letter of intent this week with International Lease Finance Corp. to lease the ten used jets for more than seven years starting in July, 2007, a spokeswoman said.

Delta hopes to sign a final rental agreement, which would require the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's approval, by Aug. 4. The carrier has been expanding its international routes as part of a recovery plan.

Paradokset er at dette skjer etter at produksjonen er lagt ned. Dersom det skulle dukke opp en eller annen form for etterfølger enten fra TLS eller BFI (og jeg tenker ikke på noen form for 737 ER ) kunne det blitt interessant å se om populariteten for typen øker.
