Delta Air Lines said it has agreed to order 100 Boeing 737 Max aircraft, with an option for 30 more, as part of a long-term plan to update its fleet and improve its overall fuel efficiency. The announcement came during the 2022 Farnborough International Airshow in the U.K., and included a signing ceremony.
The airline said it is adding the 737-10, which is the largest of the Max family of aircraft, and will begin deliveries in 2025. Next-generation LEAP-1B engines built by CFM International will power the new airplanes. General Electric and Safran Aircraft Engines jointly own CFM.
