Delta Places Order with Boeing for up to 60 787 Dreamliners
Delta's order of 30 Boeing 787-10 jets with options doubles its potential widebody fleet renewal, supporting international growth and improving fuel efficiency by 25%, Boeing said.
- On Jan. 13, 2026, Delta Air Lines placed a firm order for 30 Boeing 787-10 jets with options for 30 more, bringing Delta's Boeing order book to 130 airplanes.
- To modernize and replace older jets, Delta said Ed Bastian, 'Delta is building the fleet for the future, enhancing the customer experience, driving operational improvements and providing steady replacements for less efficient, older aircraft in the decade to come.'
- The 787-10 offers capacity up to 336 passengers and 25% lower fuel use than replaced aircraft, with the largest windows and lower cabin altitude enhancing passenger comfort.
- Deliveries will begin in 2031, and Delta Air Lines said the order will increase network capacity and support U.S. aerospace manufacturing jobs across Boeing's production system and supply chain.
- Market observers note that, on Tuesday, Boeing's momentum continued as Delta projected 2026 EPS of $6.50 to $7.50 and free cash flow of $3 billion to $4 billion.
