Delta 737-700s Now Slated to Retire by Year-end
Boeing 737-700s will join MD-88s, MD-90s, and 777-200s on this year's list of Delta Air Lines retirees.

Delta Air Lines will retire another aircraft model from its fleet as it continues to wrestle with the “staggering” effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on commercial air travel and its earnings, which the Atlanta based carrier announced today amounted to a $7 billion pre-tax loss on a more than $11 billion decline in revenue in the year-over-year June quarter. Delta CEO Ed Bastian said on a Tuesday earnings call that the airline will retire its Boeing 737-700s this year, in addition to the previously announced retirements of its MD-88, MD-90, and Boeing 777s.
