Delta Air Lines is in talks with Airbus for a significant wide-body aircraft order, according to people familiar with the matter, as rising demand for long-haul flying prompts airlines to restore post-Covid networks and replace older planes.
The talks cover both A350 and A330neo twin-aisle jets, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential negotiations. An agreement isn’t assured, they cautioned.

A potential order could total dozens of planes, as Delta works to replace a combined fleet of more than 100 older A330 and Boeing 767 models, one of the people said, Bloomberg reported.
Delta already operates both Airbus models and has hinted at buying more A330s. It’s the biggest operator of that Airbus type, with 63 planes as of March, including 21 of the A330neo.
