Boeing Delivers First 777-200LR for a U.S. Carrier to Delta Air Lines
|
Boeing delivered the first widebody 777-200LR airplane for a U.S. carrier to Delta Air Lines. The airplane was revealed and then dedicated by the airline´s management in honor of Delta employees, 150 of whom attended the delivery ceremony at Boeing Field.
The airplane is the first of eight Boeing 777-200LRs ordered by Delta Air Lines, enhancing the airline´s ability to connect customers and cargo between virtually any two cities around the globe, nonstop. The aircraft is scheduled to enter scheduled service March 8 flying between Atlanta and Los Angeles, and will fly on March 9 from Atlanta to Tokyo.
In tribute to employees and to the original "Spirit of Delta" - a Boeing 767-200 given to the airline in 1982 by employees, retirees and friends - the new Boeing 777-200LR, Ship 7101, will be called "The Delta Spirit" in gratitude to the many accomplishments of Delta´s employees worldwide. The aircraft will be officially dedicated to Delta employees in a celebration March 6 in Atlanta.
