One week later and the only change is that those 339s and 359s flying to China are staying longer on the tarmac - i.e. the "Mastodont" has not moved yet ...
Obviously to dispatch those on some other routes would mean that those routes have to sell more tickets - otherwise it would be nonsense to send A359/339 instead of 763 and have it 2/3 full only.
Still the cost of flight with any of those will be higher - probably not fuel-wise but all the other costs are higher.

I understand the fifth one should be delivered soon, or is that on hold due to the coronavirus negatively impacting demand? Possibly. China flights out of SEA are all axed amid this coronavirus situation. PVG flights should free up at least one frame. From 2 march 2020 a330-900neo replace a330-300 on SEA-AMS route. source: expertflyer |

Possibly. China flights out of SEA are all axed amid this coronavirus situation. PVG flights should free up at least one frame. From 2 march 2020 a330-900neo replace a330-300 on SEA-AMS route. source: expertflyer More about this deployment: insideflyer.nl/delta-vanaf-2-maart-met-a330-900neo-naar-amsterdam/google translation: "Delta Air Lines will be taking the A330-900neo to Amsterdam Schiphol from 2 March.
