Delta Air Lines is refusing to let the Boeing 757 die.
While most airlines have already retired the iconic jet, Delta still operates around 100 Boeing 757s, and says some will keep flying well into the 2030s despite many already being around 30 years old.
That means passengers could still be flying on aircraft built before Google, the iPhone and even Wi-Fi existed.
The airline has already started retiring some older 757-200s, removing 23 in 2025 alone as Airbus A321neos slowly take over. But the bigger Boeing 757-300 is proving almost impossible to replace.
With 234 seats and impressive range for a narrowbody, Delta says no modern aircraft can fully do the same job.
There is also a major financial reason Delta keeps them alive. The jets are fully paid off, Delta owns huge amounts of spare parts, and its TechOps division can maintain the aircraft far cheaper than rivals.
More than 20 years after Boeing stopped building the 757, Delta still cannot let go of one of aviation’s most legendary aircraft.

Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind.

@Granite_Stater1 I watched the 1st two episodes 3 times already and I can say it feels very Yellowstone in Texas. I feel its going to be a good series.
The only plot hole that bugged me. Y’all didn’t recognize him. It’s like being an all star in the NBA and you don’t know what MJ looks like. Like bruh it’s Maverick. 😒
FEEL THE NEED 🔥
40 years later (I'm 31) and I still can't breathe when that music hits. Made this poster as my tribute to a franchise that never dies. Maverick was my best cinema experience in a decade. Thank you @TomCruise@TopGunMovie#TopGun40#TomCruise#TopGun
