Delta operates one of the largest active fleets of aircraft and is a significant player not just in the global aviation industry but acts as one of the big three within the United States, as such it has an important responsibility to provide customers with adequate means of transportation, especially in the forms of the latest technology and cabin product. In 2023, what aircraft does the airline operate, what's in storage and what types are beginning to age more than others?

@markiangooley Год назад

I flew on some of those 717-200s when they were AirTran planes. I liked them. Then Southwest bought AirTran and the 717s were sold to Delta because Southwest is all 737s. I don’t think I’ve been on a Delta 717 ever, though Delta is my usual airline. Haven’t flown since 2019 though. The Delta MD-88s were my usual rides on Delta for years, flying from Florida to ATL and ATL to elsewhere.

Before Delta and Northwest merged, Delta only flew MD and Boeing aircraft Northwest only had Boeing 747s and 757s, the rest of their fleet consisted of DC 9s, and Airbus aircraft including the A330s. The 717s came to Delta via the Southwest Airlines acquisition of AirTran. Southwest didn't want the 717s so they agreed to lease them to Delta, which saw this as an opportunity to shed some regional aircraft.

@paulvail2850 8 месяцев назад

I was very interested in hearing about so many aircraft types were in storage. I always wondered how they could maintain service when a plane was unexpectedly pulled out of service. They must have a crew ready to take one of these planes to any place they have encountered a problem with a plane. I have flown with them, but now have extra confidence in their ability to get me to my destination.

@kikopoo1 11 месяцев назад

I think that Delta shouldn't got rid of the 777-200. I was hoping that Delta would of purchase the 777-W or orders for the 777-X. Delta needs more widebody aircraft in their fleet. Hopefully the would increase the A-350 to the A-350-1000

@Atl404sFinest 10 месяцев назад

Agree! The 777 is important for routes like ATL-JNB, HNL, CPT, and HND. The A350s just don’t have the range quite like the 777s do. I wish they would have just stored the 777s until it was time to lease them or perhaps lease them to a freight company and get them back when the lease is up.

Later this month at the Paris airshow I think an order for the A330-800 and A350-1000 are most likely, but a larger A220 order I can also see as likely. Having the 717’s, the A220-100 is the closest replacement for them, the A220-300 a good A319 replacement. I also wish like American and United they would order the A321XLR as there a 757 replacement.

Ok...As we say in Columbia SC ...when we die we have to take Delta to Atlanta to our final destination. My wish list is: Retire the 717's and bring in the A220. Retire the 757 to Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and New Orleans which are my favorite regional destinations. I love the A320 series or 737's or perhaps the 787-8 or -9 for Southeastern U.S. destinations. I'm onboard with whatever Delta comes up with but please update your Southeastern U.S. fleet.

Rumor mill has it that Delta 🔺 wanted to originally get a deal on their 737 max deal but due to the contract the other airlines had they couldn’t get a deal unless Boeing also cut a deal with all the other airlines that had already purchased them so apparently they might be in talks about Boeing moving the “deal” to the 787 Dreamliners instead and that would be a great replacement for their aging 767. If it’s true then that would be nice to have the Dreamliners in the fleet.

How is it superior and how do you know? Delta, the world's most successful airline, I might add, obviously particularly like the A330 types and if they were any less efficient, why would Delta even bother, as they do have a history of ordering the best aircraft for their fleet.

As for the 787, Delta decided to replace the A330CEO with the NEO for fleet commonality, on top of the fact that they got an excellent deal which offsets the loss of efficiency. In addition, Delta is the only airline in the world that owns its own oil refinery so the extra fuel needed for the A330 is not an issue for them.

@scottgrayson1209 Год назад

The overhead bins are also among the worst. Delta spent years training passengers to place rollaboards on edge, wheels first to maximize bag capacity. Now these planes come along and boarding is delayed because the 321 bins wont close with bags placed this way. Its like watching a game of Tetris as FAs try and reposition bags just before the door closes.
