Delta Air Lines’ Airbus A350-1000 Will Be 15% More Premium: Here’s How It Stacks Up Against The Competition

Delta Air Lines is starting to lean heavily into the premium end of the long-haul market, and its latest fleet decision makes that strategy unmistakably clear. With a firm order for 20 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, with options for 20 more, the carrier is positioning itself to compete more aggressively on some of the world’s most lucrative international routes, especially across the Pacific. The move also makes Delta the first US airline to commit to the largest variant of the A350 family – an aircraft that has already proven its worth with several global heavyweights.
