    Revamped Airtrans Jets go to Southwest to Delta

    Delta Airlines is going to lease 88 former AirTran Airways Boeing 717 jets from Southwest Airlines. SW took over AirTran Airways in 2011.

    These planes are about to undergo a $100 million face lift. Southwest plans to replace the jets with bigger ones. The changes include the outdoor livery, and revamping the interiors.

    The jets will allow Delta to retire 50-seat regional jets which are unprofitable due to fuel costs.

    In George’s Point of View


    Hope they spend some of that budget on making sure the engines and on board systems are up to speed!
