feels like Airbus is finally gaining some momentum after the chief sales change twice in a year Schultz may be gone but Airbus may have made good progress on some of these orders during his tenure, only to be firmed up and confirmed now. And besides, an year end order rush is not unusual for Airbus. Good to see them roll in nevertheless.

Because they intend to disclose the order in some special setting ? Or because they have some other order in the works, and prefer to disclose both at the same time, to outline their fleet strategy ? Do you have any example from the past? I guess already by simple SEC rules Delta is not allowed to hide any firmed order. true but SEC is not daily thing plus UA has some undisclosed 787 order in the past so I suppose this is possible

Good news on the A330neo. I'm hoping Delta goes for the A35K at some point.

rumor gets verified rather fast ... But there is no A359 cancellation, only a deferral, which explains why no A350 cancellation was mentioned in Airbus' October figures.

Let's see the November OD to clarify this finally. I still think there are some things coincidently mixed up. I guess there was this order for 10xA330neo in the pipe (this confirms the rumor), but it is not the UFO from October. We will see.

I assume it has to do with what Delta has to replace in the near future. The 777-200ER are not so old. The 777-200LR are rather young. But quite a few of the 767-300ER are getting really old. The oldest is nearing 30 years. If we count down the 35 oldest 767 at Delta, the youngest of those 21 years.
I assume that the ten A350-900 will than replace the 777-200ER 2025 and 2026.
There would be still 23 767-300ER and 767-400ER left at Delta. Itcan well be that this is not the last A330neo order from Delta.
