N128DU2019 Airbus A220-100

Overview

This airframe, registered as N128DU, is an Airbus A220-100 manufactured by Airbus S.A.S. (serial number 50047) and completed in 2019. The aircraft is owned and operated by Delta Air Lines, Inc., a corporation based in Atlanta, GA, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Entered service with Delta in 2019, the airframe is a member of Delta’s regional narrow-body fleet configured for short- to medium-haul network flying and shows standard in-service condition consistent with a 2019 delivery A220.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin on this airframe is fitted in Delta’s three-class layout with 12 First / 15 Comfort+ / 82 Main Cabin (109 total) seats, supporting a mix of premium and high-density economy service on transcontinental and regional trunk routes. Avionics are supplied by Collins Aerospace with the Pro Line Fusion suite, providing integrated flightdeck displays and modern systems support for airline operations and maintenance diagnostics. Typical mission profiles for this A220-100 include short- to medium-range mainline sectors where range (3,600 nm) and cruise performance (447 kts) deliver efficient stage lengths while maintaining elevated passenger comfort and operational flexibility. Routine maintenance follows Delta’s fleet standards for manufacturer-supported A220 operators, with PW1519G engines and associated support agreements underpinning engine shop visit planning and MRO scheduling.

Model & Market Context

The A220-100 occupies a niche for airlines seeking a modern, fuel-efficient 100-seat class jet, competing with smaller variants of regional jets and re-engined narrowbodies in its mission set. Its PW1500G family engines and Pro Line Fusion avionics contribute to lower trip costs and improved environmental performance relative to older 100-seat types. For operators like Delta, demand centers on mainline replacement of less efficient aircraft and flexible deployment across domestic and near-international markets; resale or part-out considerations reflect strong manufacturer support and continuing market interest in late-build A220 airframes.
