Delta Air Line<\/strong>s agreed to purchase 29 used Boeing 737-900ERs and to lease seven used Airbus A350-900s to help replenish its fleet after retiring about 200 aircraft as the coronavirus pandemic scuttled travel demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deliveries of the planes will be completed by the first quarter of 2022, pending unspecified closing conditions and modifications, Atlanta-based Delta said in a statement Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline joined other carriers in using the pandemic-driven slowdown to rid fleets of older, costly aircraft and generally moved to larger planes that put more seats on routes and reduced expenses for each seat flown a mile. Delta shaved about two years off of its average fleet age, removed four aircraft types and set plans to retire another 200 planes in coming years, Bloomberg <\/a>reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese aircraft are an investment in Delta\u2019s future,\u201d Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta will lease the wide-body A350s through AerCap Holdings NV, the largest aircraft leasing firm by fleet value, and buy 27 of the single-aisle 737-900ERs from funds managed by Castlelake LP. The two remaining 737-900ERs will be financed from funds also managed by Castlelake, Delta said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline has 15 A350s in service and 20 on order. The 29 737-900ERs will bring the total of that aircraft type in Delta\u2019s fleet to 159.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
