Delta Air Lines expects to move forward with an order of Boeing 737 Max 10 aircraft as the plane manufacturer struggles with issues surrounding the Max 9, the carrier's CEO told CNBC on Friday.
The airline ordered 100 Max 10s in 2022 and deliveries are expected to begin in 2025, its first Boeing order in more than a decade.
The Max 10, the largest model of the 737 Max, has not yet been approved by regulators.
The 737 Max, Boeing's best-selling aircraft, has had a troubled history since deliveries first began in 2017.
Delta flies over 500 Boeing jets a day, but does not fly either the Max or the 787, according to Bastian.
