Delta no longer has the 2nd largest fleet in the world. ] (]) 07:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
*Someone mentioned that the lack of new two class "Songisized" routes out of Cincinnati was some kind of indication or harbinger that Delta was going to close the CVG hub. The reason for this quite frankly is that Delta pretty much controls the entire Cincinnati market, and does not feel the need to deploy this service there immediately because it has no competition. In Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and New York, Delta is plagued by serious competition from Jet Blue, Southwest, and AirTran, and thus must put its most competitive product forth in those markets to retain loyalty, revenue premiums, and marketshare. Delta faces no such competition in Cincinnati, and for the most part, not alot of competition in midwest markets that connect through Cincinnati. Don't worry though - CVG will eventually get the premium 1700+ mile "Songisized" service when Delta rolls out more complimentary aircraft. Right now, the other markets in jeopardy need all the "Songisized" planes they can get.
*By the way, post-bankruptcy and post-rightsizing, Cincinnati remains the most profitable hub.

== Size of focus cities ==


{{edit semi-protected|Delta Air Lines|answered=yes}}
Delta's hubs are listed in order of size, starting with the largest hub. Could we arrange the focus cities in order of size as well? I do not know in what order they go.
Add 100% to Endeavor Air to match the other airlines in the list.


Clarify that Delta Connection is a brand operated by multiple airlines.
*Good idea. I am not absolutely certain, but I believe they go: BOS, LAX, MCO, LGA. LAX used to be number 1 but with the scaling back of Asia ops, I think BOS has taken over -- especially with the addition of a huge new terminal there, and the focus on connection carriers to Canada and other northeast cities. ] 19:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

*Following up here. I have found the following links to specific airline passenger counts at Delta's focus cities (with the exception of BOS). Since Delta is beginning to consider BOS a hub, I will put it first in the order unless someone has information that I don't. MCO has 5,211,177 DL pax yearly; LGA has 4,738,034 DL pax yearly ; and LAX has 4,618,818 DL pax yearly . These are 2005 numbers. Guess I was off on my guess in my comment above...the actual order would be BOS, MCO, LGA, LAX. I will make these changes to the infobox.] 13:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


] '''Not done:''' please provide ] that support the change you want to be made.<!-- Template:ESp --> ] (]) 23:24, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
*Is there anywhere that Delta specifically spells out which cities are focus cities, or have we just reached a consensus that BOS, MCO, LAX, and LGA are the only focus cities? What statistic specifically cuts off FLL and DCA, because these are very large DL cities that serve many point to point routes outside of the hubs and top four focus cities (which I thought was the definition of "focus city")? How do you find it appropriate to say that FLL is a "non-focus city"?


== Expected Delta One 32N config ==
== Hubs ==


Hello!
According to its own in-flight magazine (SKY), which contains a route map, Boston is considered a Delta hub. Delta operates many domestic-to-international connections through Boston, and is ramping up these operations even more as DL shifts to focus more on international routes. ] 22:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


I was thinking of adding a small section on the A321neo Delta One product that is allegedly coming, but since there is no press release at the moment I figured I'd ask for a second opinion.
== Fleet infobox changes ==


Relevant sources:
I think that the new "routes" addition still looks messy. Instead of listing cities that these aircraft fly to, I think it would be more appropriate just to describe the routes (as in, "long-haul" "high-density" etc, rather than the routings themselves). These planes get changed around a lot, and, for example, I flew a 767-400ER to LAS from ATL and don't see that on there, I'm sure there are a hundred other examples. Better just to have general description. ] 13:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. The AA article mentions the routes that the aircraft serve. I would prefer to remove the orders/options section instead. BTW, as a convention, we do NOT include regional jets. ] 22:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

---

I was under the impression that we wanted to standardize the fleet information for all airlines. This would include (at least) orders, but not include information like engines, whether they have AV, ETOPS, etc. In addition, the chart is so wide, that the orders in the fleet column is wrapped to a new line and looks awkward.

Would you be open to removing the engine, cargo, etops and av columns? Maybe we can standardize on the follow columns:

Done. Hope you like it. ] 17:29, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

As for the CRJ, Delta has two pages, one that lists CRJ as thier own aircraft and another that lists them as part of Delta Connection. I guess you could assume that Delta does not operate CRJ themselves.

North American Airlines, in fact, does offer scheduled service to Africa. The claim made here that Delta will be the only US airline to offer scheduled service to Africa is false.

:North American Airlines is an all-charter airline. Delta is the only US airline to offer ''regularly-scheduled'' service to Africa. The claim remains true and should remain in the article. ] 12:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm hearing a couple of rumors from insiders that ] could soon merge with ]. If the merger happens, it will work since Delta doesn't really have an Asia network, Boeing 747s, or a hub outside of the US while NWA will have a New York hub, routes to Africa, and routes to South America. Both are in bankruptcy and combined forces would lead to a very powerful US airline.
