Delta Air Lines has announced that it will not use narrow-body planes for long flights to Europe, citing "product and brand issues."
This decision goes against the trend of other airlines, such as JetBlue, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, which are increasingly using smaller, single-aisle planes for transatlantic flights.
The use of narrow-body planes for long-haul flights has become possible in recent years due to the development of more fuel-efficient engines.
For travelers, these long-range, narrow-body planes have ushered in a new era of long-haul flying.
Despite this, Delta has chosen not to follow suit, opting instead to maintain its current fleet composition.
