Fleet Rarity

Delta operates over 70 737-800s—common in their fleet.

Record Flights

Not used for ultra-long-haul or record-breaking flights; used on high-frequency short- and medium-haul domestic routes.

Safety & Events

The 737NG series has been involved in both routine service and a few notable but not model-unique incidents; Delta has a strong safety record with this type.
