Delta Air Lines takes delivery of its first Airbus A350 aircraft, which will be mainly deployed on trans-Pacific routes to Asia.
The new long-haul aircraft will seat 306 passengers in three cabins, including 32 Delta One suites, 48 seats in Delta Premium Select and 226 seats in economy.
“Our new flagship A350 fits well in Delta’s long-haul network, combining an exceptional customer experience with strong operating economics and fuel-efficiency as we retire older, less-efficient aircraft,” said Ed Bastian, CEO, Delta.
The Delta One suites feature flat-bed seats with direct-aisle access and a comfortable, 38-inch pitch. Passengers in all three cabins can enjoy in-flight entertainment, WiFi and in-seat power sources.
The new aircraft will be used to operate Delta’s trans-Pacific network, beginning with Tokyo (NRT), Seoul (ICN) and Beijing (PEK).
The airline ordered 25 A350s, which will replace its older Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft.

May 27, 2025Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu
Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
