The history of Delta Air Lines began in 1925, when it was founded under the name Huff Daland Dusters. In 1928, the company was renamed Delta Air Service, and in 1945 – Delta Air Lines. The airline began passenger operations in 1929, and its first route was flights from Dallas, Texas to Jackson, Mississippi. Delta Air Lines currently serves 214 domestic and 97 international destinations in 59 countries.
As of December 2024, Delta Air Lines has a fleet of 984 aircraft, making it one of the largest commercial airlines in the world. Delta's total fleet includes more than 80 Airbus A330 aircraft, of which 33 are A330–300 aircraft used for long-haul flights.
Delta received most of the Airbus A330 airliners at the end of October 2008, as a result of the merger with Northwest Airlines. That year, the company's fleet was replenished with thirty-two aircraft models -200 and -300. Only seven years later, in 2015, Delta began expanding its A330 fleet, and the first of them was the aircraft with registration N822NW, pictured on our poster. It is noteworthy that the registration numbers of the new aircraft retained the ending "NW", inherited from Northwest. The average age of the airline's A330-300 is 16.1 years. Today, Airbus A330 aircraft continue to arrive in the company's fleet, but these are new-generation A330-900 aircraft.
Delta operates the A330-300 primarily on routes to Europe. Major European cities such as London, Paris and Amsterdam are among the company's busiest destinations.
