Ho provato a cercare nel forum quel topic che riguardava le compagnie "extra europee" ma non sono riuscito. Mi scuso e quindi se i moderatori vogliono chiudere questa mia discussione oppure spostarla in quell'altra (se la trovano!!!!)

Delta has acquired seven more MD-90 aircraft from Japan Air Lines, as it continues to replace older, less-efficient planes in its fleet with more flexible, cost-efficient models. These seven MD-90s are in addition to nine MD-90s that were purchased from JAL last year.
The aircraft will be delivered between October 2012 and March 2013, and all will enter service by the end of 2013. The planes will be added on a capacity-neutral basis, replacing less-efficient mainline and regional aircraft, including 50-seat regional jets.
Delta has purchased 49 MD-90s during the past three years, and will have a fleet of 65 of the aircraft once all are delivered. All the aircraft undergo extensive modifications before entering service, including refurbishing and upgrading the passenger cabins to match Delta’ domestic fleet.
“Our latest MD-90 acquisitions continue our strategy of deploying the most efficient aircraft to specific routes whenever possible,” said Nat Pieper, v.p.-Fleet Strategy and Transactions. “That helps Delta succeed despite high fuel prices and the uncertain economy.”
That strategy will continue next year, when Delta will begin accepting deliveries of new Boeing 737-900ER aircraft, which will be used on domestic routes.
