- Delta Air Lines is planning to replace one-third of its mainline fleet in the next five years and looks to grow internationally but has yet to decide whether or not to invest in struggling Italian carrier Alitalia, Chief Executive Ed Bastian said on Tuesday.
Further out, Delta also needs to replace almost 200 Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft, a category that Boeing Co is targeting with a potential new midsize plane, known as the NMA. Alitalia was put under special administration in 2017 after workers rejected the latest in a long line of rescue plans, leaving the government once again seeking a buyer to save the airline. It will be the third rescue in a decade.
Al italia... lol.... The money pit...
Bye bye Delta!
Please dont do it Delta Alitalia is where good money goes to die. May as well try to invest in South African Airways.
