Delta Air Lines and Airbus have agreed to terms for a 100 firm and 100 option
order for state-of-the-art Airbus 321neo (new engine option) aircraft with
deliveries beginning in 2020. The new jets, which will be powered by Pratt &
Whitney geared-turbofan engines, will feature cutting-edge safety, efficiency
and comfort.

“This is the right transaction at the right time for our customers, our
employees and our shareholders,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. “Delta, Airbus
and Pratt & Whitney share the same commitment to safety, efficiency,
innovation and continuously improving the customer experience. This order for
the state-of-the-art A321neo with Pratt’s Pure Power next-generation jet
engines reflects our long-term commitment to these values for Delta people
and all our constituents.”

Airbus A321neo

Delta A321neoDelta will configure the A321neo to a total of 197 seats
including seating for 20 in First Class, 30 in Delta Comfort+ and 147 in the
main cabin. On-demand inflight entertainment, fast satellite-based 2Ku
in-flight Wi-Fi, power ports as well as streaming video content will be
available at every seat through Delta Studio. The cabin will also feature
expansive, 25-percent-larger bookshelf-style overhead bins and full spectrum
LED cabin lighting.

Delta expects to take delivery of its first A321neo in the first quarter of
2020 with new aircraft arriving through 2023.

“The A321neo will equip Delta employees with a customer-preferred, versatile
narrowbody aircraft befitting their position as a global airline leader —
 and we are excited to continue to partner with them as they deliver
industry-leading operational performance, customer satisfaction and financial
results,” said John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer — Customers, Airbus
Commercial Aircraft. “This purchase furthers our commitment to U.S. aviation
— a commitment that has never been stronger.  Today, there is more U.S.
content in Airbus aircraft than from any other country, with more than 40
percent of our aircraft-related procurement coming from the United States.
 In addition, our workforce at the U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile,
Alabama is proud that they will be delivering many of these A321neos to Delta
in the coming years.”

Pratt & Whitney engine MRO provider

Delta is also announcing a long-term commitment with Pratt & Whitney for
Delta TechOps to be a major maintenance, repair and overhaul provider for the
Pure Power PW1100G and PW1500G engines, powering Delta’s A321neo and C
Series aircraft. This latest generation family of Pratt & Whitney engines is
a major factor in the 12 percent fuel efficiency improvement on a per seat
basis Delta expects over classic A321 performance.

“Pratt & Whitney’s commitment to complete over 5,000 engine repairs and
overhauls at Delta TechOps is possible because of the high level of
professionalism and quality MRO work the Delta TechOps team performs for the
Delta fleet and to more than 150 additional airline and aviation customers
based across the globe,” said Delta COO Gil West. “Delta TechOps’ position
as an MRO industry leader and the largest in North America will be fortified
even further with the addition of Pratt & Whitney engines to its extensive
portfolio.”

This commitment by Pratt & Whitney will drive significant job creation within
the Delta TechOps workforce and comes as Delta is already making significant
investments to its engine overhaul capabilities at its Atlanta Technical
Operations Center, including the first new engine test cell to be built in
the U.S. in more than 20 years and expanded engine shop space.

“The addition of geared-turbofan technical knowledge at Delta TechOps will
not only be applied to the 200 engines that will power Delta’s A321neo
fleet, but will also uniquely position TechOps as an MRO leader in this space
as future engine types are developed,” West said.

“We couldn’t be more proud of our long standing relationship with Delta,
which dates back to the 1930s,” said Pratt & Whitney President Robert Leduc.
“Fast forward nearly 90 years, and the GTF engine has revolutionized
aviation technology, and will provide Delta with proven performance and
environmental benefits. We are honored to power and support Delta’s new
fleet of A321neo aircraft well into the future.”

Continued meaningful investments in customer experience

This order is the latest among several Delta initiatives supporting its
multi-billion dollar investment in the customer experience. On the ground,
Delta is participating in more than $12 billion in airport infrastructure
projects during the next decade in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia,
Salt Lake City and Seattle. In the air, an ongoing cabin modernization
program continues on existing aircraft featuring new seats, seatback
entertainment systems with free entertainment, free mobile messaging,
high-capacity overhead bins, access to Wi-Fi on nearly all flights, free Main
Cabin meals on select flights, upgraded Main Cabin snacks, an Alessi-designed
collection of service ware, Westin Heavenly In-Flight Bedding in Delta One,
chef-curated meals paired with wines hand selected by Master Sommelier Andrea
Robinson, noise-canceling LSTN headphones and more.
