For obvious reasons, Delta Air Lines' Boeing 757 flights are decreasing quickly. In December, Cirium Diio data shows an average of 250 daily round-trip services . Compared to the festive month in 2024, they've fallen by 26%, equivalent to 88 fewer daily services . Nonetheless, Delta remains by far the world's leading user of passenger 757s.
According to ch-aviation , the SkyTeam member currently has 92 757s , both -200s and -300s. As they're paid off , they're extremely cheap in this sense, offset by burning more fuel and requiring more maintenance. It's the reverse situation for much newer equipment, with the Airbus A321neo and 737 MAX 10 to eventually replace the airline's aging but characterful 757s .
