WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) -
Delta Air Lines is looking at buying as many as 50 wide-body jets, the airline said on Thursday, opening a contest between Airbus and Boeing Co for business worth well over $10 billion at list prices.
In an official confirmation of a bid to renew the top end of its fleet, the airline said it was studying replacements for its Boeing 747-400 and 767-300ER jets, which have an average age of some 20 years and burn more fuel than newer planes.
