Delta took delivery of its first Airbus A330-900neo just a few weeks ago with the aircraft set to enter service on the airline’s Seattle – Shanghai route from 1 July. Earlier this month that entry into service date was pushed back to 15 July but the schedules on Delta’s two other planned A330-900neo routes remained firm….up until now.
Delta’s Seattle – Seoul route was due to get A330-900neo service from 1 August but, in a recent schedule update, Delta has pushed back the new aircraft appearance on this route to 1 October 2019. [HT: Routes Online]

What You Need To Know About Delta’s A330-900neo
Sadly, if you’re booked to fly Delta’s services between Seattle and Seoul or Seattle and Tokyo Narita before the new October entry into service dates you won’t be flying in the airline’s latest aircraft and, unless you’ve booked a refundable fare, you will not be able to change your flights without incurring a penalty.
