Delta Introducing the A220-300 in November

Delta Air Lines will introduce the Airbus A220-300 on 16 November.

The airline has already been operating the smaller A220-100 for a couple of years, which is proving popular with pilots and passengers. It has over 30 examples in service, with more on order.
