Insights

Aviation History

Last member of the DC-9 family, originally the McDonnell Douglas MD-95, and now increasingly rare in active service, mainly flying with Delta.

Fleet Rarity

Delta is the largest and almost sole major operator of the 717-200 today.

Record Flights

Mainly used for short to medium-haul flights, famous for being a durable workhorse on legacy Southeast and Midwest US routes.

Safety & Events

Generally a safe service record; few notable incidents, with some minor mechanical diversions, but no fatal accidents in North America with Delta.

Future Outlook

Delta is the last major carrier operating the B717; retirement expected within the next few years as the fleet is gradually phased out.
