SUMMARY

 * Delta Air Lines is now deploying its Airbus A220s from the world's busiest
   airport on three routes.
 * The aircraft type will be the exclusive operator on two longer routes to the
   west while sharing a route in the east with other aircraft types.
 * Delta's A220-300 accommodates 130 passengers and features WiFi, USB power,
   and inflight entertainment.



After nearly six years, Delta Air Lines has finally brought one of its newest
narrowbody aircraft types to its hometown airport. On Saturday, the US legacy
carrier began deploying its Airbus A220s from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta
International Airport (ATL).

The aircraft will operate three routes from the hub across nearly 200 total
flights. While it joins other aircraft types on one route in the east, it will
be the exclusive operator on two other longer routes that journey to the west.


ATL’S FIRST A220 ROUTES

According to aviation data and analytics provider Cirium, Delta is utilizing its
A220-300 aircraft for the first time at ATL. As the world’s largest operator of
the aircraft type, the airline also operates the smaller A220-100 variant.
However, it will continue to handle flights at the airline’s other hubs and
focus cities. The A220-300 is scheduled to operate three routes out of ATL,
serving Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA),
and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD).

This month, Delta has a total of 392 flights scheduled between ATL and IAD. The
A220-300 will be operated twice daily, handling a total of 95 flights – 48 to
IAD and 47 to ATL. As an undoubtedly popular route, Delta will notably utilize
five other aircraft types to support the capacity. Joining the A220-300 will be
the A319, A320, A321, Boeing 717, and 737-800.

The A319, which only carries two more passengers than the A220-300, will be
deployed on a whopping 149 flights on the route. The larger A320 is scheduled on
65 flights, while the A321 will only be deployed once in each direction. Among
Boeing metal, the 717 will handle 42 flights, and the 737-800 is scheduled to
operate 39 flights.





CROSS-COUNTRY TO CALIFORNIA

The other two routes the A220-300 is operating are longer cross-country flights
to California, and it will be the only aircraft within Delta’s fleet to be
deployed once daily. Between ATL and BUR, the aircraft is scheduled on 48
flights this month – 24 in each direction. According to Delta, the airline has
served the route before, but it has never been operated by an A220. The carrier
also operates daily flights from BUR to its hub at Salt Lake City International
Airport (SLC).

There is no date on when the larger aircraft could return to the route.


While the ATL-BUR route is returning, the journey between ATL and SBA is
all-new. There are a total of 47 flights on the A220-300 scheduled for this
month: 24 westbound and 23 eastbound. The new service complements Delta’s
existing service between SBA and SLC.





AIRCRAFT ACCOMMODATIONS

Delta’s A220-300s accommodate 130 passengers in a two-class configuration. In
first class, there are 12 recliner seats in a 2-2 layout. The seats have a width
of 20.5 inches and a pitch of 37 inches. The main cabin comprises 118 seats in a
2-3 layout. 30 Delta Comfort+ seats have 18.6 inches of width and 34 inches of
pitch, while the remaining 88 standard seats also feature a width of 18.6
inches, but have a pitch ranging from 31 to 33 inches depending on where the
passenger is seated.

The aircraft also features WiFi, USB in-seat power, in-seat power outlets, and
seatback screens with live TV for inflight entertainment. Delta took delivery of
its first A220 in October 2018. The carrier is one of three US airlines to
operate A220 family aircraft, but is the only airline to jointly operate
A220-100 in its fleet. Breeze Airways and JetBlue Airways only operate the
A220-300.
