Delta operates a relief flight to the Bahamas
Delta Air Lines made this announcement: A Delta MD-88 loaded with supplies departed Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Sunday morning for Marsh Harbour, Bahamas. The airline is working to determine whether additional flights are needed. The Delta Flight 9994 departed Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood Sunday morning, landing at 10:59 a.m. at the Marsh Harbour Airport to deliver 4,700 pounds of critical supplies. Once supplies were unloaded, the flight departed for Nassau with 72 evacuees. (worldairlinenews.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
There was a post a few days about how Delta had a better reputation than other main carriers. Add this to the list of reasons.
American Airlines did the same from Miami.
Congrats to Delta for stepping up.
Delta also operated a similar flight Monday morning.
Delta has always had more class
This brings up an interesting prospect.. Is there a freighter option for the MD80/MD90/B717? I ask, because that could give the aircraft a second life, similar to the B737BCFs If the other large aircrafts at that time (B727, B737, etc.) could be converted to freighters, could not the MD80 series as well?
Yes. Some MD-80s have been re-purposed to freighter life. I just saw one recently at the Smyrna, TN Airport (MQY) that had flown in from Mexico.
I'm glad that they are using them for other purposes other than just scrapping them.
That’s why I’m glad some of the MD’s American retired will go on to other airlines as either passenger or cargo aircraft
