Delta predicts big order for planes

In Georgia business news … Delta Air Lines is buying new planes … lots of them. The Atlanta-based carrier tells the Wall Street Journal it may order as many as 125 of Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner jets by the end of the year. Delta just emerged from a year-and-a-half-long bankruptcy. The company says it’s still negotiating seat configurations and how much the planes would cost to operate and maintain.
