Delta considers newer regional fleet

USA-based Delta Air Lines is considering buying up to 50 more planes in the two-class, 70 to 76-seat range.


New aircraft of this size are more fuel-efficient and profitable than the 50-seat all-economy planes that tend to fly US regional routes.


Delta wants to cut some of the 139 50-seat aircraft in its fleet.
