Delta to Take Delivery of 777-200LR in 2008

Delta Air Lines has said that it will be the first United States carrier to take delivery of Boeing's 777-200LR aircraft.

The airline said it will take delivery of two 777-200LR aircraft early in 2008 and the two aircraft will be equipped with fully horizontal personal sleeper suites in BusinessElite.
