Report: Delta Air Lines May Buy Up to 125 Boeing 787 Dreamliners by the End of the Year

ATLANTA (AP) -- Delta Air Lines Inc., which emerged from bankruptcy protection earlier this year, may order as many as 125 of Boeing Co.'s new 787 Dreamliner jets by the end of the year, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.


The order is still being negotiated while Delta considers seat configurations and how much the planes would cost to operate and maintain, the airline's chief operating officer, Jim Whitehurst, told the Journal.

The Atlanta-based airline is considering "a massive order over a long period of time," Whitehurst told the Journal.

Am also hearing that should we be awarded the China service, do not be surprised to see an order for a few 777-300ER's. Now that would be a site to see.

ATL-PVG on a 777-300?
I highly doubt that they can fill it up. My guess is they will have a hard time filling up a -200. Now maybe if the flight was originating our of either LAX or JFK. ATL no..
