If someone could give me the breakdown of the 73J/R fleet, the breakdown of the 737-800s (the newer ships with the "old" PTVs and the older ships with the new PTVs) and confirm what I have down for the 359 fleet that would be greatly appreciated! Narrowbody 717-200: 9501-9594 737-800: 3701-3776 737-900ER:3801-3930
It's important to note that the reactivations had been removed from Delta's fleet list. 47 New deliveries: 32 A321neo 8 A223 6 A339 1 A350 38 Used: 32 739 (Lion Air) 6 A350 (Latam) 8 Reactivations: 8 717 This information was shared in a flight operations email to all Delta pilots so is very solid. The 1 A350 from the DL order seems oddly low.
This the Delta Connection fleet summary as of 9/30/21 (end of Q3) that I pulled together a few weeks ago in the 2021 thread. As said, official numbers will come out in mid-late Feb with the 10-K. Current DCI fleet as of 9/30/21: CR2: 76* CR7: 18 CR9: 153 E70: 8 E75: 117 Total: 372
Yes. It’s an existing several years old domestic 757 configuration that planes like the ex-Shanghai Airlines 757s have. The “international” 757s have been used exclusively domestically for several years now barring use on JFK-MEX and select KEF routes.
This was one of the major selling points of the 757/767 combo to airlines when they were developed. United has elected to maintain 764/763/757 commonality, and the associated training complexity, for pilots to provide operational flexibility. Meanwhile Delta has elected to operate the 764 as a separate fleet for pilot training and currency ...
Delta appear to be removing Delta Studio from the 717 and RJ fleet. This seems like a step backward when AA and UA have streaming onboard similar sized aircraft. Is this an immediate effect decision, or will the feature continue to be used until removal from each aircraft?
As Delta is mainly retiring 767-300ER and than 767-400, more A350-900 seems to be a bit of overkill. I do not believe, that Delta is going for 787. That would make the fleet unnecessary complicated. Delta would not need to hurry ordering A330-900, they would be available in a relative short time frame.
However they really in my opinion need to use this cabin refresh as an opportunity to finally install the D1 suites on those A333/2s which will still be in Delta's fleet for probably another 10 years or more. Delta's 763s and A332s/A333s have the Panasonic eX2 IFE (and so did the now-retired 747s).
E175SC fleet: 79 total (25 SkyWest, 18 Republic, 36 Mesa) – 20 frames parked, fleet numbers will shift as E175 fleet shifts E175 fleet: 136 total, 6 parked (65 SkyWest, 44 Mesa, 27 Republic) – deliveries continue in 2024
Delta's much changed Asia network is a direct result of the drawdown of the NRT hub, which was from a different era, where many if not all those destinations could not be reached nonstop. The evolution of longer-range, twin-jet aircraft made nonstop service to these destinations viable, sustainable, and rendered the NRT hub irrelevant.
