Delta to Spend $1B on Service, Fuel Efficiency
AP Airlines Writer
Delta also will install winglets - vertical stabilizing fins projecting from tips of aircraft wings - on more than 170 Boeing 767-300ER, 757-200 and 737-800 aircraft to extend aircraft range and improve fuel efficiency by as much as 5 percent.
Delta President Ed Bastian said the airline's investment in improvements to existing aircraft is within the level of capital spending Delta has historically laid out.
Delta, which bought Northwest in October 2008, is scheduled to release fourth-quarter and full-year 2009 financial results on Tuesday. It is expected to post a loss for the fourth quarter and for 2009.
