Take a closer look, something crucial is missing from Delta’s first A330-900neo, which just left the Airbus paint shop in Toulouse, France, sporting its signature Delta livery.
Though at first glance, the aircraft might look ready for takeoff, a closer look reveals something major still missing: the plane’s engines! These will be painted separately and mounted in the coming days.
This A330-900neo will take to the skies for testing before being delivered to Delta later this year.
Delta will be the first North American operator of the A330-900neo, which will offer the latest in innovative design and technology for customers. Delta’s A330-900neo will feature all four branded seat products – Delta One suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
This aircraft is the first of 35 next-generation A330-900neos on order by Delta and is expected to begin service later in 2019.

Delta One Business Class & Premium Economy Reviews
Flight Review: Delta Transatlantic To New York In Business Class
Delta is the oldest airline in the USA and is the world’s second-largest airline in terms of scheduled passengers carried, revenue per passenger per mile flown, and fleet size (after American Airlines). Delta’s fleet includes almost 900 aircraft and is known for its policy of generally buying older generation or used aircraft and for continuing to fly aircraft for 20-30 years, much longer than most other major airlines. As such, it has one of the oldest fleets of any American airline, with an average fleet age of 16.3 years.
Flight Review: Delta One Business Class Suite A350 Detroit To Tokyo
This trip report reviews our flight in a Delta One Business Class Suite on their A350, Detroit To Tokyo. Delta Air Lines first Airbus A350 departed from Detroit, bound for Tokyo-Narita. This inaugural flight of Delta's new international flagship aircraft was heralded with "First Flyers Club" champagne toast and gifts for each passenger. If you fly on Delta One, you immediately get airport club lounge access where you can eat or drink, work, or relax. Travelling Delta One gives you complimentary access to Delta Sky Club® and SkyTeam® partner lounges around the globe.
Review: Delta Air Lines Business Class Suite
Delta Air Lines introduced an all-suite Business Class product in 2017. This Delta One Business Suite is available on its new Airbus A350, and in this review, I look at what you get in the suite. Delta Air Lines is the first airline to offer an all-suite Business Class product. The suite is a smaller and less luxurious (but more affordable) version of the popular Etihad A380 First apartments. This private suite design undoubtedly copies the concept of the suites that originated in First Class. The Delta Air Lines Business Class cabin features 32 seats split across eight rows.
Review: Delta A350 Premium Select
In this trip report, I review what is on offer if you fly Delta A350 Premium Select, which is Delta's Premium Economy in the new A350. Delta Air Lines has now launched its A350, and the new premium economy product on its A350 aircraft is expected to come into circulation on the Detroit – Tokyo Narita route on October 30 (although this does not yet show up on the system). Seats which feature 38 inches of pitch, 19 inches of width and 7 inches of recline Adjustable leg and head rests 13.
