So I am planning a trip to Argentina later this year and booked an Aerolíneas Argentinas flight on Delta’s website. My flight would be MSP-JFK on Delta and then JFK-EZE on Aerolíneas. Usually, Aerolíneas uses the A330-200 on that’s route, however, after booking the flight, I realised that the aircraft listed was not an A330-200, but rather the A330-900neo.
This could just be an error that Delta made, however, Aerolíneas has been looking for a new long haul to replace their old A330s and A340s and the A330-900neo fits the bill.
Although this is probably a mistake, i would love to see Aerolíneas use the neo for the flight that I’m taking.
This could very well be a leaked ordering of the A330-900NEO for Aerolíneas Argentinas, or an error as Delta has ordered the A330-900NEO, and they are streamlining their ticket booking page to all routes soon to be operated by NEO’s. Nobody knows as of now. 😁
Aerolineas Argentinas haven’t ordered any A339s (at least not publicly) and even if they did, they’d take years to be delivered so unfortunately I’m pretty sure this is an error. Unless the flight is operated by Delta despite the fact that flight is operated by Aerolineas Argentinas.
