Delta to retire MD-88, MD-90 fleets in June
Delta will retire the MD-88 and MD-90 aircraft earlier than previously planned, with both aircraft types exiting the fleet effective June 2020. The accelerated retirement schedule of both aircraft is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as we reduce capacity systemwide. Delta cut its overall active fleet by about half, parking more than 600 mainline and regional aircraft in the last two months. (news.delta.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It’s going will be sad day on on next month. I’m gonna miss those Delta’s “maddog” McDonnell Douglas Fleets. I must be lucky for I flew those MD-88 and MD-90
god speed md88 90 flew on you many of times
One of the most comfortable airliners ever to fly. I'm really going to miss them.
I hate to see it go...my first jet plane flight, an Eastern Air Line DC-9 "Whisper Jet". What a ride! Probably flew on DC-9's more than any other plane from Bham and DFW.
I used to take the MD-88 / 90 flights up and down CA coast between LA and Reno or San Jose and Orange County. They were nice planes and fairly quiet;in a couple of cases, I took first class the front was very little engine noise. Too bad they don't want to continue them !
@Mike Boots. When I last checked there were 195 countries in the world so I have serious doubts Delta will be the last. As, after all, it a BIG world.
