April 29 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:DAL) DAL.N has ordered
37 current-generation A321 aircraft from Airbus Group AIR.PA
worth $4.25 billion at list prices in a deal that Delta Chief
Executive Ed Bastian called "opportunistic".
The widely anticipated announcement comes a day after Delta,
the second-largest U.S. airline by traffic, ordered 75 of
Bombardier Inc's BBDb.TO CS100 aircraft. It said Friday's
agreement will help it to replace 116 ageing MD-88 aircraft that
it plans to retire.
