@byerussell Delta looks set to debut its first A220-300s from its Salt Lake City hub in November.
@byerussell Delta will be a primarily Airbus operator in 5 years with the news that its 717s and many of its 767s are leaving early due to the pandemic.

@byerussell “Traditionally, even airlines going through bankruptcies held on to planes, but a move by LATAM to reject several EETC-financed aircraft… suggests that carriers are less concerned about burning Wall Street than trusted leasing firms.” @jonsindreu.
