If the international push continues, Delta will likely need more widebody lift.

According to the Delta website, Delta has options for 10 767-300ERs and for 18 767-400ERs. However, it is not up to date as it does not make a mention of the 737-800s converted to 737-700s, and only lists two 777-200LRs on order.
It would be nice if Delta purchased more 767-400ERs and put them all in international configuration with AVOD in both BusinessElite and economy.
I wonder if Delta ordered more 767-300ERs, what IFE system they would get in economy? All 767s currently produced feature the 767-400 style Signature Interior. The system in economy class on the 767-300ERs is outdated, and would be mixing old and new looks if it was installed on a 767 with the new-style interior. BusinessElite will probably get the Panasonic eFX system with AVOD, but Delta does not intend on adding AVOD to economy. Maybe it would feature ceiling and bulkhead mounted LCD screens, similar to the domestic 767-400 fleet.
