- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2022
- Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines is one of the largest carriers in the world. With nine hub airports across the country, the airline uses its fleet of nearly 850 mainline aircraft to connect cities big and small at home and abroad. As it continues to make investments in new aircraft, it is also working on retrofitting older aircraft in its fleet. Let's take a look at this major carrier's fleet composition in 2022.

Correction at 8:47 - Delta's A350-900s seat 306 passengers, not 360.
Please do more of these style videos!!!
LOL commented here to say this but you beat me to it. Good correction. As a Delta pilot, it’s an amazing aircraft to fly and I truly hope we get more. Great analysis of Delta’s fleet.! Subscribed.
Deltas A350-900 Delta ones first class is cheap,not wide enough and very uncomfortable! It really is a shitty product for a premium price oh and the food is absolutely awful!
Oof
the Delta A330neo looks so great
Yeah
Yeah I Agree Because It Has A Mask. That's Right!
I know they're old, relatively inefficient planes and it makes sense to swap them for the awesome A220 but I'll miss seeing the 717s. Just something about swept-wing, huge T-tail and rear-mounted engines that looks cool to me.
@yo yo It already had new engines when Boeing acquired it.
@yo yo There's plenty of demand for long and thin routes that need a long range 100 seater. However you are correct that there's also demand for economical short range 100 seaters that is not being met.
@yo yo I know you love the MD-95/717 but is was already effectively dead when MD merged with Boeing with very poor sales. Correct about 737-600 but the 700 sold over 1200. Hardly "no one wanted it". Boeing actively marketed the 717 and just couldn't interest many other than Hawaiian and Qantas. The biggest factor that killed the program was the RJ's, especially in the US market which was it's prime target. Time just had moved on from the old DC-9 based aircraft that really had very few upgrades over the life of the program and devertives other than the the new engines and cock bit. Lack of investment by MD was it's biggest issue to make it more competitive.
@@jmlinden7 For short 100 seater flights of 1,000nm or less there really needs to be a stretched Q400. For that distance the economy of a turboprop just is not achievable with a jet and the additional travel time is within the taxi time variation at many hubs.
@@johniii8147 To be clear though your right about the 717’s poor sells but there other factors came into play. First off, 9/11 and rising fuel prices made most airlines not in financial position to by new planes. Two, airlines that could by planes prefer the 737 & a320 for higher capacity. Three, Boeing did advertised the 717 well or introduce a new variant like the 717-300 that would have gotten orders from Delta in the early 2000’s. Lastly Boeing favored it’s 737 line up over any narrow body jet it offered at the time, aka 717 & 757.
Now Boeing doesn’t have a jet to compete with a220 because they have given up on the 717.
I love the 757's. I'm glad Delta is keeping them.
I’d just as soon fly in a CRJ. If I must be stuffed into a narrow little seat, I prefer it to be in a 2x2 configuration instead of 3x3.
You're the only one. At least deltas crjs are more spacious than unkteds 777s in economy
I’m a fan of the 757. Great airplane. Boeing made a mistake by not replacing this aircraft
I agree. Love the sound of the Pratt and Whitney's spooling up.
this is the new back bone of the DL fleet. it used to be the Mad Dog. the 757 can fit everything and anything
I just flew on the A350 from ATL-DTW and it was amazing. It was so quiet and comfortable. I even got to go up into the cockpit and chat with the captain. My ranking of Delta’s Fleet: A350, 757 (both variants), 737-900, A220 (Both Variants), 717, 767, A321, A320, 737-800, A319, and A330 (All Variants).
You put those nasty super-narrow-body 737/757’s before the 767 ? I’ll never see that, unless you’ve never flown coach.
@@sking2173 I've flown in coach plenty of times on the 737/757/767. I rank those narrowbodies higher due to updated cabins (having in-seat power, better performing IFE and Wifi, a quieter interior, and newer seats) and just the overall performance and comfort. The 767 is a beauty with the 2-3-2 configuration and a great workhorse, however, with Delta not putting much effort into the aged coach cabin especially on the -300ER variant. It makes the overall experience below average compared to the rest of the fleet. And I understand your side as well, but if Delta put the time into an updated cabin for the 767 then my results would change. I've flown many years ago on a -400 variant but I can't compare that cabin in relation to the -300 variant.
@@gks7424 - I can appreciate your opinion as you have valid reasons for your ratings.
Mine requirements are somewhat simpler. As I am a wide-bodied person, I need wide seats, specifically, generous shoulder room. Obviously, seating configuration also plays a part, too.
I find the Boeing single aisle aircraft (except the 717) in the industry-standard configurations (3x3) to be totally unacceptable. The A320 series aircraft in the same configuration can accommodate noticeably wider seats. And that 220 is amazingly comfortable.
In the international market, I was sad to see Delta dump their 777’s, because they had kept the 9-across seating, which allowed comfortably wide seating, even more generous than their 350’s. (I do enjoy the quietness of the 350, though.)
Most all of my flying is international, so the long distance haulers are the most important to me. I don’t mind taking a CRJ with no amenities to my gateway airport; the over-the-pond aircraft is the one where I need IFE and power at the seats. Of the US carriers, Delta is the only one I’ll use, as United and America equip their 777’s in 10-across, and their 787 in 9-across, both of which are unacceptable.
Most recently, I have been flying Japan Airlines. I do enjoy their “SkyWider” coach seating on their 777’s and 787’s. I also use Korean Air (777 only) and Emirates (380 only).
My favorites are the brand-new A350s, A330neos, A220s, and the boeing 767-400ERs
Problem is,...ive never flown on delta (although i really, really want to)
So i dont have any personal experiences to judje from.
Also, can you please do more fleet videos from airlines like american, united, british airways, japan airlines, ANA, china southern, lufthansa, turkish,etc......
Great video as always!
I used to fly standby on Delta a lot when my mom worked for them. They're a great company. Everyone was always kind, and employees take pride in working for such a great company. Delta takes care of both their passengers and employees. When you do get around to flying with them. I'm sure you'll love it.
There is something iconic about Delta and their 757 fleet. Maybe because they are one of the few remaining operators of the type. Delta has such an expansive fleet. It’s really something compared to other airlines.
Many of those 757s were former NWA planes. The story behind the 757-300 is absolutely mind boggling. Boeing only made about 50 of them, then 3-5 years later everyone wanted them. NO ONE is retiring their 757s. And the 767 is still in production.
I've posted elsewhere of the sheer GLORY of the Boeing 757. I wish they still turned them out by the dozen!
My favorites in the DL fleet are the A330neo and A220. Prior to them it was the B772.
You’re a wide-body aren’t you ?
Me, too, and I agree with your choices.
@@sking2173yes, he is. He is very wide
Huge fan of Delta A330-900 Neos 😍
me too, especially the delta one and the 2-4-2 configuration on economy
My first ever flight was on a Delta MD from Detroit to Tampa. Long live the Mad Dogs!
I flew Tampa to Detroit on an md-90 with my dad, we were supposed to go to Connecticut but got rerouted and was amazed by the size of the Detroit airport, the MD fleet was delta's work horse so it's sad to see them go.
My first flight ever, ninth grade, was from MGM Montgomery to MSY New Orleans aboard a Baby DC9. Only 45 minutes in the air, I was in thrall the entire way and it was the beginning of a flying experience that has now taken me to six continents and 100 countries. Still, the memory of that day exceeds some of my finest long-haul experiences. A Boy And His Planes!
I’ve actually flown on the Delta Airlines A330-200 twice back in 2015 from Portland to Tokyo and from Tokyo to LA
Great vid
My favorite aircraft in the Delta fleet is the A320-200 while my least favorite is the B737-800/900ER.
Favorite routes include: MSP > DCA, MSP > CUN, and MSP > TPA.
I'm in BHM and almost every Delta service to Atlanta from here is aboard the B737. I've heard their appearance likened to "little flying footballs" with that blunt nose and stubby body. I never get excited about boarding one.
The a350 is such a beautiful machine.
tell that to Qatar Airways
@@simonmbugua314 That another story
@@simonmbugua314 my man can't even spot the difference between paint and machine
Delta is the best. I wish they had a bit more premium offerings domestic. But I’ll still never switch to any other airline.
Please can we have one of these videos about B.As fleet? Great video BTW!
My favorite Delta plane so far to ride on as a passenger is the A321s because the cabins are wide and nice for a narrowbody plane but my 2 favorite even tho i haven't flown on them yet are the A220s and the A350s but hopefully soon I'll get to fly on one of them but as a passenger and since ive already flown on them with Delta already the A321s are my favorites for right now lol
My favorite delta planes are 727, and 757.
Excellent Vid
Thank you for watching. ✈️😊 - LR
The Boeing 757......Long Legs, Slender Body and Big Jugs. May she live long and prosper.
Had a great R/T business class IAD-HNL 767-400 a few years back before they upgraded the cabin. The food, the drink and the seat were perfect.
The worst is the business class on the 717 which has the most uncomfortable seat I ever sat in on a plane.
Delta’s 717 doesn’t have a “business class” ...
I had a memorable 717 flight and will miss them.
The 350 now holds 4 classes. comfort plus is now considered a class and now has been added to the 350 fleet.
Yes, and it was a wise move ...
Why wouldn't "Comfort Plus" be considered a class? I use it all the time with pleasure.
I love the 767 service between MCO and ATL that accompanies the almost hourly 757 services. Once during covid, they even used a 767-400 to keep it in service due to the lack of international flights.
Why you would put a 767 on such a short route as MCO-ATL, boggles the mind. Put your larger aircraft on longer hual routes. Like JFK-LIS, JFK-PRG, JFK-EDI
ATL-SLC.
@@meddyven It's a moneymaker, Meddyven. You forget how many people pack the skies heading to Disney via MCO/Orlando.
Fly favorites are the Delta Airbus A330 neo’s and the A350’s for the wide bodies and the Delta domestic or narrow body fleets I live their Boeing 737’s 757’s Airbus A220’s and A321’s… However I miss seeing the Delta MD-88’s, MD-90’s and Boeing 777’s!!
Call me crazy but I like 757s and Delta is the only airline I get to see fly them for the most part. And they are always fun to fly on.
The 757....Long Legs, Slender Body and Big Jugs. May she live long and prosper.
Why?
Also the subtitles are broken again
Delta’s A220-300 is built and delivered in my hometown of Mobile, Alabama and their last A321ceo was delivered in my hometown
That facility has rejuvenated Brookley Field, and I love the idea that Downtown Mobile now has an operating airport. I despise the MOB facility so FAR outside town. It was pretty run down the only time I flew into Mobile, an old Eastern nonstop from Birmingham back in the early 1980s.
I'm always on the 717 from ATL-CLT and back.
Love the 737-900ER. Have a love/hate relationship with the Airbus A321, which is my usual ride anymore. Love the quiet, hate how Delta has them laid out - so many “window seats” have absolutely no view out!
I hate the 737 because of its ultra-narrow seats. I avoid them like the plague.
I love the 900-er also. Surprising leg room. I’m 6’3 and I didn’t have any issues with the seating honestly
Yeah, what's up with those many seats with no windows? Ought to be illegal.
I know that these are retired but I love the 777-200LR and ER. They went to New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo probably and was one of Delta's only planes to fly nonstop from Los Angeles to Johannesburg. We will miss you 777 hope Delta brings them back.
Truly. The WONDERFUL Triple-Seven is my favorite long haul international aircraft, pretty much (excluding the 747, A380 and A350). I can't believe Delta ditched them. I've been all over the world aboard the Triple-Seven, operated by Singapore Airlines, Emirates, AirFrance and United.Such a fine beast of an aircraft, particularly the 300 series.
Glad Delta still operates; 757-300 & 767-400ER
757's all the way. Still flying into PHX.
767 = 👍
757 = 👎👎
@@sking2173 757-200, the original commercial hotrod. Quick roll & fast climb out. So fun to watch (& work on).😉
@@azmike1956 - I know, their performance is eye-popping for a commercial jetliner, but that doesn’t help when you’re crammed back in coach on a full flight. And if you’re seated toward the back of that -300, it takes forever to get off the thing. I do NOT like them, unless I get upgraded to first class.
@@sking2173 Believe me, I fully understand the pain of getting on & off a long narrow body. Flew from San Diego to Frankfurt in a DC8 Super 60. I've gotten to the point where I just wait for everyone else to clear the way for me.
Could you do more fleet videos
I'm old school as it pretains to flying with Delta I grew up with the 737 -700 ✈️
Sad that delta retired the MD-80 and MD-90 because ive grown up flying those planes.
Whenever there's an A350 and A330neo, there's no looking at other aircraft for me! A350 and A330neo are my ever favorites.
Delta’s A321neo fleet is expected to replace a significant portion of its 757s. I rode on an a321neo this summer during a trip to Las Vegas.
I would love to fly an A350-900 and an A330-300 NEO at some point. Also a trip on an A220 again I’d love that.
What is wrong with the subs
My fav has, is, & always will be the 757. Sad to see it go. 😢
Least favorite the 717 they’re just so cramped and uncomfortable. Favorite even though it’s retired the 777 it was so comfortable from Atlanta to Johannesburg and back. Flying in Oct from ATL to FCO on an a330 and back on an a350, after that trip I may have a new favorite(s).
The 757 is the best, no questions asked
A350. I love it so much
Going on my first delta flight in March on the a350. Hopefully it doesn’t change. DTW-HNL
I have flown a delta 767-400 in the retrofitted product
Really want to fly on the A330-800
There will be another major narrow body order coming in the relatively near future to replace the 737-800s, 320s and 319s. They are getting up there in age.
I appreciate that they are growing their Airbus fleet. With all the problems Boeing has, this bodes well for overall reliability and safety of Delta's service.
Airbus is better than Boeing 😁
@@Whackjob_ the A350 has just a painting damage. For example the max, that plane crashed two times so that are bit different problems. Besides that, the EASA as not safety relevant. So in my mind Boeing has the bigger problems and Airbus the better planes.
@@noahbrandner710 Just for reference, the Airbus A320 family has had 36 hull loss accidents and a total of 1393 fatalities. the last in Pakistan in May of 2020. So far, the 737 Max has had two. I guess it's just how you present the statistics and news. As for the "paint damage". It's not paint, it's delamination of the composite outer skin exposing the lightning protection embedded in the composite layup. Not a good thing. Nobody, not even Airbus has a fix for that yet. Bondo won't do. Boeing's issue was corrected with software and mending fences with the pissed-off FAA. Airbus lost its largest customer which pretty much shut down the A380 (the big pink elephant in the Airbus boardroom) production permanently. Keep in mind the source of information and news on this site usually comes from European-based sources. They love to bash Boeing and flaunt Airbus. It's good for their economy.
@@Georgiagreen317 You can’t compare a plane that exists since the 1980s to a plane that exists since 2015. You could compare the max with the a320neo family. If not you have to compare all 737s with all a320s. If not it’s not a fair comparison. And it’s known that Boeing has a few problems with their production and the quality.
CRJ’s make me feel like a sardine in a can.
LOVE THE A350
I love that they have A350s and A220s!
Thank you for watching. ✈️😊 - LR
Two years late to answer this, but big fan DL’s heavy Airbus fleet, along with the 757 and 767😅🙌🏼🙌🏼
I think the most interesting aircraft in Delta’s fleet is the Boeing 757-300. Also know as “the flying pencil”, it is a rare aircraft and the fact that it is a narrow body aircraft that has a seating capacity of over 200 passengers.
Boeing should consider “Maxing” the type.
It’s a cattle-car if you’re unlucky enough to sit back in coach.
The A350 and A330neo are my favorit Aircraft
Aircraft is plural and singular. There is no such word as aircrafts. noun: aircraft; plural noun: aircraft
mine is the 767 400 i think its pretty rare as only delta and united use them
Boeing 717 and Boeing 757 are my favorite aircraft in the fleet.
Since you asked, my favourite aircrafts is the Delta fleet are the 767 and the 757. Least favourite are the A350 and the A220. Thank you.
Yes please, old but still kicks
Aircraft is plural and singular. There is no such word as aircrafts.noun: aircraft; plural noun: aircraft
800 aircraft???? Bloody hell, that's an unbelievable number!!
Fave aircraft is, of course, the beautiful, A-350, least fave is 757, I really don't like the flying pencil. Mĺ
because the flying pencil has old seats and probably poor service, that may be why. Also Delta is the most biggest airline in the world, follow by AA
Oops, at 8:50 your video says the Delta A350 seats 360 people. It’s actually 306. Great video though thanks.
He corrected himself elsewhere. 360 vs 306. Easily discernible as a typo, right, bud?
@@AlmostMonumental27 he corrected himself where exactly?
I miss the 777s
My current favorite of Delta's fleet is the B767-400 & second favorite has to be the B757. My last favorite is the B717, and the A319. I'm so glad they retired their tired old MD80s & MD90s.
I've never been much of an airbus fan, and was really sad to see my hometown airline retire their 777 fleet. Of the Delta historical fleet...I loved the L1011 and MD-11s, and of course the B747-400. I'd really hoped that my favorite airline would add the B787 Dreamliner to its fleet. I know with their switch to Airbus wide bodies, it's unlikely to see them add the B777x , but that would be awesome.
Boy, I spent many hour aboard and in thrall of that magnificent Delta Lockheed L-1011 TriStar! You really felt like you'd been somewhere aboard that plane. Remember how the earphones were actually hollow plastic tubes that captured sound from (I suppose) speakers below the armrests? Pretty innovative!
Can you cover American and United in this category
Always loved the MD-80/B717 family - flew a lot of legs on those venerable aircraft.
My favorite aircraft of Delta airlines: A350-900.
Delta did lead for a bit this year with slightly more planes than AA. But again AA is once again bit bigger by fleet. My favourite is A330 900 NEO
I avoid American Airlines like the plague.
My favorite delta aircraft is the 757, no questions asked.
Ah, so you like ultra-narrow cabins ...
Mine too!❤
I’m just really surprised that delta doesn’t have any 350-900ULRs or 350-1000’s. Furthermore, I’m surprised that they aren’t working with Airbus for the 350-1000ULR.
I love their A321,A330and A350 fleets, but i adore the 717.
We do too! - LR
Always as Always as been Airbus. A330S,A220S, A350S BEEN MY FAVORITE
Gonna be flying on the a350 for the first time in a month
A350 are my favs
A330neo and A350 ♥️
Interesting).
My favorite to work on is the a330
i love the a350
My favorite is the 757-300 and mg least favorite is the 319
I want to fly in the A330 neo.
I am going to fly in their A350 February 27
i like the a350-900 and the a220's the best
Hi please reduce the sound of the music and increase the sound of the voice. Because I can't hear anything properly
What happened with the sub-titles?
I’ve never flown on Delta, so I don’t know what aircraft of its fleet is my favorite.
I Like Spirit Of Delta Boeing 767 From 1982 Iconic Jet Age The Rest Is History
Gotta love the A350 even if it's on Delta
as replacement the legacy full service carrier could do with a fleet of 28 brand new A350-900 ULR, 63 A350-900 & 84 A350-1000 HGW . . . if possible Delta should acquire a fleet of 42 refurbished B777-300 ER that will complement the airline A350-900 & A350-1000 HGW fleet operating on international long haul routes, including Canada . . .
I love the Airbus 359
My favourite Delta aircraft is the A350-900, and in any airline, any fleet it is decidedly A350-900
THE MIGHTY A350 - 330NEOS - AND THE BEAST A320
Was thrilled to get on a a330 neo, the infotainment decided not to work 🤣 so I was happy to fly back on the CEO
772. Bring it back. Thanks.
I really liked their 772’s, also.
B717's is still a interesting a/c for new airlines low cost low fare. nothing compares w/B757-200
Ever sit in the back row of a packed 757 ?
No? Look up “hell” for a full description ...
The Delta's A350-900 has a row of seats that does not recline even half an inche, in economy just in front of the toilettes in the middle of the airplane. I took a night flight and sat there. My "lucky" was that nobody else choose that row and I was able to use the 3 seats for myself for some comfort. In a fully booked night flight people seating there will have a bad time.
On a fully booked flight, you’d be miserable unless:
- you are a skinny little guy
or
-you were seated with two skinny gals ...
@@sking2173 that's true, but the point here is that in a plane that costs millions of dolars they put a row where the seats do not recline, and people seating there pay the same fare as other people flying in that class.
Favorite is the 757-200
Love the A350, flew on it routes
LAX to SYD and DTW to CDG.
Not fond of the 767 which flew MAD to JFK.
A220, A330neo & A350
All !!! Delta is The Best.
All Boeing airplane i love it..
the a350 is my favorite
at much I like their 767er, late or soon it got to replace it and more importantly: improved the business class... to something better. Talking about replacement, the 767-300er have 6,878.6 mi and can carry 199 to 261 people, the mot closest aircraft are these:
b787-8: 8,823.5 mi/248 passengers max
a330-800neo: 9,379mi/220 to 260 passenger
the 787-8 is the most closest one and efficient from what I see, while the 800neo give you more capacity and range. So is up to what Delta needs. Anyways, the 767 is very hard to replace🤷♂
what did you guys think?
(I approve also the 2-4-2 or -2-3-2 configuration in both)
The 2x3x2 (767) seating config is the absolute best, and the 2x4x2 (330) is almost as good.
Most all 787’s are 3x3x3, which is horrible given its cabin width, but Japan Airlines equips theirs in the 2x4x2 config, and it is NICE. Japan Airlines has the only 787 I’ll book.
Seat widths and configurations are important considerations when I book flights. That’s the reason I avoid all 737’s and 757’s.
@@sking2173 thanks, the 787 was always supposed to be like that with a 2-4-2 or 2-3-2 for best experience configuration than the 767, and the reason why airlines chose the 3-3-3 configuration is this: more seats mean more money and more wins for airline( of course, the worst for the passengers) but you know how this work. If I chose airlines and buy surely the 787, I would put a 2-4-2 configuration for long-sort routes like for example crossing the US or from north Africa to the south, and a 2-3-2 configuration for the long routes transatlantic( not sure you like the idea)
Last thing, again, with planes do you think is best for delta to replace the 767? The 787-8 or the 333-800neo(both 2-4-3) I would say both after I investigate something.
MD80/90 series was planned to be retired before the onset of Covid, but don't let facts get in your way.
delta 747 definitely
Favorite is the B752/B763-4
Least fav the A359
