On October 25, Delta Air Lines will end flights on its highest-capacity equipment : the 339-seat Airbus A350. It has 30 business class seats (2-2-2), along with 63 with extra legroom (3-3-3) and 246 in the main cabin (3-3-3). Only its ex-LATAM aircraft had this configuration. Come October 26, only two A350-900 layouts will exist: the 275-seater and 306-seater .

Only one frame, the 9.7-year-old N569DZ , still has 339 seats. Its final passenger-carrying service with this configuration will be from Amsterdam back to Atlanta, a fortress hub at which Delta has 79% of the flights . It'll be flown to Singapore's Paya Lebar to undergo reconfiguration into the SkyTeam member's lowest-capacity, highest-premium, 275-seat layout. This will operate many of Delta's longest routes
