ATLANTA ¨C Delta Air Lines Inc. is showing no hard feelings after its recent trade spat with Boeing Co.
The No. 2 U.S. carrier wants to be one of the first to fly a potential new mid-sized jetliner from Boeing, said Delta Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian. That¡¯s a vote of confidence from one of the most influential aircraft buyers as Boeing decides whether to build the plane, dubbed the 797 by analysts.
¡°You¡¯re going to see us participate in Boeing¡¯s middle-of-the-market campaign,¡± Bastian said. ¡°I hope that we¡¯re going to be a launch customer on that program as well.¡±
