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]
Bittersweet. Have over 10,000 hours in those two airplanes. Certainly reliable, if not a little quirky. They served DL extremely well though and I'll miss seeing them.
I just have to ask -- Captain Kirk? ;^D
I always loved flying on these planes, and will certainly miss them.

I know a Ph.D. whose last name is Brain. Dr. Brain. Gotta love apt names lol
My company still flies them. Of course, we fly DC-9s, DC-6s and C-46s too. That makes the MD the newest airplane in our fleet.
Must be with Everts Air up in Fairbanks. Yes? No?

I think Rob should buy about 10 more from delta
With all the aircraft being retired, used values must be plummeting faster than a tire deflates...
