Delta Air Lines' Stance on Narrow-Body Planes
Delta Air Lines has decided not to use narrow-body planes for long flights to Europe, citing "product and brand issues."
This decision goes against the trend of other airlines, such as JetBlue, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, which are increasingly using smaller, single-aisle planes for transatlantic flights.
The use of these planes has become possible due to the development of more fuel-efficient engines, allowing for longer-range flights.
Delta Air Lines is bucking one of the trendiest new ways to get across the Atlantic Ocean.
- JetBlue
- Iberia
- Aer Lingus
are some of the airlines that have adopted this approach, marking a significant shift from the traditional use of large, twin-aisle jets for intercontinental flights.
