It looks like SEA-CDG is going to a 76T this fall and HKG will remain a 77E for the foreseeable future. Do you happen to know how they’ll cycle the planes into SEA once this happens or are they just going to leave a couple of planes on that route and do occasional swaps?

The winter schedule is a work in progress - especially for the 772/77L fleet. Mostly because they will probably all go through Delta Suites installations during that period. As of today, only MSP-HND and SEA-HKG are scheduled on the 772 during that time so it obviously doesn't work. There will be a lot of swaps with 77L routes as those go through maintenance. I'm sure DL will want to sequence through priority the routes it puts the 777 Delta Suites planes on and that will lead to the rest to eventually fall into place.

I saw N1604R leave from Concourse B and head that way (pretty impressive watching it climb away while empty too). I looked and after that, it was going to Paris. Why on earth would you ferry both these aircraft empty and trade places? It looks like N174DZ arrived from Paris to Cincinnati before ferrying to ATL, and went down to Santiago late last night. Seems like a waste of time and money.

Cost and logistics. I'm certain DL tried to replace the scheduled 738, but if CVG didn't have any spare aircraft and/or crews, it would've had to ferry the aircraft anyway. And it's cheaper to operate a ferry flight than a live flight, so if DL didn't need the capacity, it's a more sensible option.

I understand that part of it, but I mean why switch a high-J 767-300 for another high-J 767-300? Why not fly N174DZ back to Paris and N1604R to Santiago instead of ferrying them both and trading places?

It sucks tbh. If you ever come to ATL we have the 747 museum at the Delta Museum. Cost $15 for the museum but they offer half off when just 747 museum is open along with the shops.

That is usually an airframe maintenance issue, for which there are a ton of different reasons. Think MEL items maybe affecting ETOPS, available time or cycles before the next inspection and where that will be, an entry slot for the Z mod, etc. They just saw a reason to change up the rotations.

I wonder why N1613B ferried from SEA>SFO>SEA yesterday, and stayed less than 90 mins on the ground at SFO? Anyone?

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N1613B

This threat has seriously redeemed a.net for me, so thanks everyone for such informative posts. I love watching how the operation accommodates all sorts of irregularities, from crew availability to maintenance to weather, etc. This thread gives you the big picture, which is much harder to get if you are tracking individual aircraft. I can see, for example, that the A333 did a Seattle turn out of Paris on April 5th, while the 777 did an MSP turn instead of the usual routing through SEA to HKG (perhaps for maintenance?). It would take forever to collect all of that information on an individual aircraft basis. Thanks everyone for the work!

I don't think that N174DN operated the ATL>TLS>ATL charter flight shown above, as both FlightAware and FR24 show it operated a regular scheduled flight from ATL>SCL that same night, after the ferry flight from BOS>ATL! So which one operated the charter flight?

After the 9th frame arrives, how many more are coming this year? Is it just two more this summer, or are there additional frames coming later in the year?

Trying to find some domestic widebody flights, but don't see much except transcons. Are any of these
"aircraft activities" planned in advance and shown in Delta.com schedules or are they all last minute/
day of substitutions? Would love to catch a ride on some of these! Thank you!

There are both scheduled and unscheduled widebody domestic swaps. I try to identify them in the notes when available. Scheduled wise over the next few weeks there is the following scheduled swaps SEA-JFK (4/16-763), ATL-DTW (5/3-76W), DTW-ATL (4/16-332), ATL-LAX (4/17-764), JFK-ATL (5/1-764), MSP-SEA (5/4 & 5/10-772) and DTW-ATL (4/19-77L).

So much for putting the whole marching band as well as the alumni club on a single chartered 747-400 like in the past with Delta. I guess universities will have to charter two planes when going to the big games. Which will probably cost more. I mean, is there really zero demand for a 450+ passenger plane with almost unlimited cargo, even if only a few of them, at a massive airline like Delta?

Those bands onnly come marching maybe a few times a year. Not enough to justify the expense of such a large a/c. Delta would need to utilize that size of a/c year round to justify acquisition.

Well the obvious thread to follow the mods, besides here, would be the 'Delta Aircraft Refurbishment 2018" if someone could provide the list of those birds which have already been modded. Perhaps "n515cr" could help if he reads this!

Thanks for the list. So is the plan to still convert 14 birds total from 76L to 76Z then? I would assume that N169DZ, N172DZ, N174DZ, will be included, with perhaps N1200K, N1201P and the rest out of the 16** fleet #s?

Major engine fire for an A330-300 in ATL. Took off for LHR and 20-30 mins. in flight the right engine caught fire. The aircraft safely landed and they had the trucks come out to foam it out.

I'm not too sure what reg.# it is. But judging by the engines, they look like the PW4000 engines. Crazy incident.

777mech posted it was 3306, I'd put my money on his info.

Usually the easiest way to find the reg # is by typing the flight # on FR24 (not on FlightAware!) However FR24 says it was N822NW, whereas FlightAware says it was N806NW. Why the discrepancy?
