Few people expect luxury while flying, but these days, even the basics seem to be in bad shape. It’s not uncommon to find your tray table broken, the in-flight entertainment system not working and your seat【T1】______worn—all of which can make you think, how old is this plane anyway?

As of the end of 2008, a small percentage of the【T3】______ Delta/Northwest’s planes dated back to the late 1960s. U.S. fleets are among the oldest in the world, said Richard Aboulafia, an【T4】______ analyst.

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. [br] 【T2】
