Why In The World Does Delta Still Fly The Boeing 757?

Most airlines have retired their decades-old Boeing 757 models already. However, one carrier that has not is Delta Air Lines, and the airline’s management team continues to vouch heavily for the aircraft. The Boeing 757 blends the long-range capabilities of a small widebody jet with the operating economics of a narrowbody, making it easier for airlines to turn a profit. A Boeing 757 can carry 200 passengers and a fair amount of freight from a short runway and fly across the ocean.
