Delta sees a place for Boeing's 737 Max airplane at the carrier as it looks to reshape its fleet over the next decade, Airline Weekly reported on Thursday, citing comments by Delta's CE. "No news to report [but] we're constantly talking to [Boeing]," Airline Weekly quoted Delta CE Ed Bastian as saying Sept. 20. "There's certainly a place for [the Max] if we can figure out how to bring them in." Any Boeing 737 MAX order would be the first for Delta, which did not have the aircraft in its fleet when the plane was grounded in March 2019 following two fatal crashes. It would also be the first major Boeing order for Delta in a decade. The story, however, did not say if there were any purchase orders on the horizon. A Delta spokesperson declined to confirm Bastian's comments and said the airline has no fleet announcements to make.<br/>

KLM has re-expanded its US network for the coming winter season, in an abrupt change of fortunes following the relaxation of travel restrictions at home and abroad. Earlier in September, the SkyTeam carrier said it had been “forced” it to remove planned flights from Amsterdam to Las Vegas, Miami and Orlando from its winter schedule, in light of a Dutch government announcement that travellers arriving in the Netherlands from the USA would be required to quarantine for 10 days from 4 September, regardless of their vaccination status. But later in the month, the Dutch government’s move to reverse that decision coincided with the Biden administration’s announcement that it would allow fully vaccinated travellers from Europe into the USA from November. “Thanks to the recent easing of travel restrictions, KLM will be allowed to operate additional services to destinations in the United States this winter,” the carrier states on 24 September.<br/>
