Delta Air Lines' Stance on Narrow-Body Planes
Delta Air Lines has decided not to use narrow-body planes for long flights to Europe, citing "product and brand issues."
This decision goes against the trend of other airlines, such as JetBlue, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, which are increasingly using smaller, single-aisle planes on flights between the U.S. and Europe.
The use of narrow-body planes for long-haul flights has become possible in recent years due to the development of more fuel-efficient engines.
Carriers are increasingly using smaller, single-aisle planes on flights between the U.S.
Despite this trend, Delta Air Lines has chosen not to follow suit, opting instead to maintain its current fleet of larger, twin-aisle jets.
