Delta's replacement for the jumbo jet has arrived
On Sunday, Delta took delivery of its first next generation Airbus A350-900 airliner. Delta's first A350 arrived at its base in Atlanta just after 2:00 am on Sunday following a delivery flight from Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France. Upon arrival, the plane was greeted by a ceremonial water cannon salute before pulling up to a gate. The new wide-body jet is one of the 25 A350s Delta ordered in 2014 and is the first of five Airbus will deliver to the airline this year. In May, Delta announced that it is deferring delivery of 10 A350s by at least two to three years. The Airbus A350 entered service in early 2015 with Qatar Airways and is now in operation with roughly a dozen airlines around the world. However, Delta will be the aircraft's first operator in North America. <br/>
