This article is about the mainline Delta Air Lines Fleet. For information about the fleet of Delta's regional operations, see Delta Connection § Fleet.
Delta Air Lines planes parked on a taxiway at Kansas City International Airport. The planes were parked due to the sharp decrease in demand for air travel from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
As of April 2024[update], the Delta Air Lines fleet consists of 985 mainline aircraft, making it the largest commercial airline fleet in the world.[1][2][3] Delta Air Lines operates a fleet manufactured by Airbus and Boeing.[4]
Delta operates the world's largest fleets of the Airbus A220, Boeing 717, and Boeing 757, the largest passenger fleet of the Boeing 767, and the largest Airbus A330 fleet of any US airline.
Delta has historically preferred purchasing or leasing used aircraft or using older-generation models to keep initial acquisition costs down. To support this business model, Delta has also invested in an extensive MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) organization called TechOps. However, Delta has acquired lower-priced newer aircraft via discounts on slower-selling models and as aircraft manufacturers transition to newer designs. As a result, as of 2023,[update] Delta flies the second-oldest fleet among the legacy carriers, and the average fleet age has been reduced to 15.3 years.[5][6]
Before its 2008 merger with Northwest Airlines, Delta's fleet was made up of solely American manufacturers aircraft (except Airbus A310, which was acquired by collapsed Pan American World Airways). Overseas manufacturers aircraft like Airbus from Northwest joined the fleet after the merger, and more have since been added.
