Delta will be the first US airline to take delivery of the A220.
Now that the aircraft is decked out in Delta’s livery, it will move to pre flight activities in the A220 flight line hangar in Mirabel before taking off for its first flight later this autumn.
Delta’s first A220 is scheduled to begin service in early 2019.
