Delta: “Descartamos aviones de un pasillo en el Atlántico”

✈️ Glen Hauensteis, president of Delta, states that the airline will never use single-aisle aircraft like the Airbus 321 for transatlantic flights. While United Airlines increases the use of Boeing 737s for ocean crossings and anticipates the A321XLR, Delta relies on older B767s and A330s for low-demand destinations. Despite the A321XLR's capability, comfort concerns deter Delta from adopting it. United plans routes like Santiago to New York starting 2026, capitalizing on smaller aircraft for niche markets.
