Yes, but that's not what you asked in your OP. You asked if it would be ethical for Delta to advertise an all-Airbus order. It's one thing to let those who are interested do the research to discover the fleet composition of various airlines; it's quite another to specifically call attention to it in your own advertising.

Well the information has been proclaimed loudly in articles. Advertising can be done tastefully to simply point to the obvious. You will note in the press release that no mention was made of the losing proposal to purchase 100 B737 Max-10.
