Delta CEO Expects to Move Forward with Boeing Max 10 Order, CNBC Says

-- Delta Air Lines expects to move forward with an order of Boeing 737 Max 10 aircraft despite ongoing issues surrounding the Max 9 model, Chief Executive Ed Bastian told CNBC on Friday.

-- The airline ordered 100 Max 10s in 2022, with deliveries expected to start in 2025, according to the report. Regulators have yet to approve the Max 10.

-- "We certainly will not take them 'til we have 1,000% confidence that that plane is fully secure, fully safe and ... everyone has signed off to that," Bastian told CNBC.

-- The 737 Max, for which deliveries first began in 2017, was grounded in the U.S. for nearly two years following a Max aircraft crash in Indonesia in October 2018 and another crash in Ethiopia in March 2019. Earlier this month, a door plug on a Max 9 blew off during an Alaska Airlines flight.
