A332 Replacing 767

(Sorry if this has been asked answered before, I couldn't find it...)
Saw over on routesonline that Delta is replacing 767's with A332's on 8 routes starting next March. Any ideas where the 767's are going? And where are the A332's coming from (ie, what current routes?)

I believe LHR is going to become all 764 again after the mods are complete. With LHR currently seeing a lot of 332s, I would assume most are probably coming from there.

I think you’ll probably need nine frames to fly all those routes, so I dare say those A332s will be coming from “almost every route they currently fly.” With 10 frames total, it’ll be almost a total migration of that fleet.

S20? Would looking at it now be a bit too soon? Almost a year away... I did also see that they swapped out the 763 with a A333 on SEA-CDG starting in April 2020. Hasn’t been gauged like that since AF started flying SEA-CDG as part of the JV.

Where is that PDX - NRT A332 routing from? Looks like PDX - AMS is staying on the A333 and AFAIK there are no other A332s that head to NRT anymore since SEA is the A339 and everywhere else is the A359/77L and it looks like NRT - SIN and NRT - MNL are still on 763s.

If that's the case, would suggest there will be a nice regularly occurring PDX - XYZ widebody opportunity

Let’s not forget that the A330-900neo is beginning to get delivered. This allows 339s to swap some routes previously served by 767s, 332s, and 333s. SEA-KIX/ICN is a prime example, IIRC.

so while 332s will be replacing 767s on some routes, it doesn’t necessarily have to be an even swap. 339s can fill the gap, too.

Wouldn’t read into the schedule so much yet. DL is probably still firming it up. I think they’re just making the adjustment based on their app for HND slots. Maybe if it’s finalized they downgauge AMS and funnel the rest of the traffic through SEA?
