Delta and Airbus announced Tuesday that Delta has agreed to expand its Airbus A220 order book by five aircraft to a total of 95.

Delta now expects to take delivery of 45 A220-100s and 50 A220-300s during the next four years, with the first -300 variant expected in 2020 coming from Airbus’s Mobile, Alabama final assembly line.
