As of the end of 2008, a small percentage of the【T3】______ Delta/Northwest’s planes dated back to the late 1960s.

It’s also important to remember that a plane may be 20 years old, but its engines and other major systems could have been recently【T7】______or upgraded, said Aboulafia. There’s less pressure on the airlines to【T8】______ the【T9】______, unless it’s a safety【T10】______ or a redesign that will save money.
