Airbus 50th A220 to Breeze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to data from planespotters.net, Delta Air Lines proudly received the 51st A220 from the Mobile Final Assembly Line (FAL) on September 1, 2023. This aircraft is registered as N318DU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus commenced A220 assembly at its Alabama facility back in August 2019. The inaugural delivery of this aircraft type from the Mobile FAL taking place in October 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Breeze Airways, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue are the exclusive trio of US airlines operating the A220, it’s worth noting that not every A220 in their fleets has been assembled in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JetBlue operates a lone A220 crafted at the Montreal FAL, identified as N3125J, which Airbus placed in the airline’s hands in March 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, Delta Air Lines’ A220 fleet, dating back to periods before October 2020, exclusively originated from the Canadian facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
