Delta adds Boeing 717s for Los Angeles/San Francisco service
Delta Air Lines will introduce Boeing 717 aircraft on eight of the 15 daily flights between Los Angeles International (LAX) and San Francisco International airports in June, offering 40 percent more seats on its hourly nonstop Delta Shuttle. (dcnewsroom.blogspot.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Love Delta growing on the West Coast. Shame they gave it all away after the Western merger. Now flying out LAX to YVR, SEA, ANC, LAS, SJC and more. Just like the good ol days. Hope it keeps going.
I wonder if the 717s will be true Delta operations or will Compass operate the larger planes. Outsourcing may continue, which is a sad state of the business.
I think these are true DAL and probably the capacity contract is why they didn't take the others.
What is ironical is these are the same AirTran 717's sold by Southwest to Delta. Now, these same planes will be going head-to-head against Southwest in the LA to SanFran corridor.
Yep, I think Air Tran was about the only one running them.
Can the aircraft flying to San Francisco get much smaller?
If this trend endures, when they announce "get on the plane" they will mean you should put it between your legs and strap on!

Rick, where are you coming from? These are bigger planes on over half the flights.
