Instead introduce 4 a350-900 to LATAM Chile (for time 787 withdrawn from service - engine issue), more profitable for LATAM Group is to lease surplus a350 aircraft to Hainan and Qatar.

According to the below article LATAM will keep with 8 a350-900: skift.com/2019/09/26/delta-air-lines-buys-stake-in-latin-americas-latam-at-americans-expense/They had total 27 a350 on order (19 -900 version and 8 -1000 version). Until now LATAM took delivery of 13 a350-900 (4 leased to QR, 2 leased to HU). From 14 a350 LATAM backlog (12 directly from Airbus + 2 a350-900 from BOC Aviation), delta will take 10 frames, QR 1 a350-900 (msn 313). Looks like LATAM will take still 3 a350 deliveries. |

We had better wait for further clarification. Also unclear is whether DL will end up owning more A350s than previously planned, or will just take them quicker (LATAM frames replacing its own).

IMO this will add to the number of A350 Delta will take. Why take over frames ordered by LATAM and cancel frames that Delta ordered themselves? Why take the price for canceling orders on Delta, rather than let it stay with LATAM. I hardly believe that LATAM got the frames with better price or conditions than Delta themselves, but I can well imagine that both the current Delta and LATAM orders offer better conditions, than are available now. |

I hardly believe that LATAM got the frames with better price or conditions than Delta themselves, but I can well imagine that both the current Delta and LATAM orders offer better conditions, than are available now. LATAM's still undelivered A350s were probably a major Airbus concern, since the airline appears to have ordered much more aircraft than it can pick up. QR leases have offered a short term solution, but that's probably not enough. So, Airbus may have offered DL to take LATAM frames at its own specs and price, while DL may have demanded in return a waiver of penalties in case it has to cancel some of its own orders. This, of course, is pure speculation. We'll have to wait until DL clarifies its fleet plans. |

LATAM new fleet plan includes only 9 a350-900 operating: In my opinion LATAM fleet plan: currently operating 7 a350-900 - 4 to Delta + 5 returned from lease to QR in 2020 and 2021 (msn 64,79, 265, 282 and soon will be delivered 313) + only 1 future delivery to LATAM (msn 363) = 9 a350-900 2 frames leased to Hainan AL - later this year to SAA (msn 226 and 245) are not considered as LATAM frames in their annual and quarterly reports - probably owner of both aircraft is Avolon (according to planespotters.net).
