Delta’s last MD-88 and MD-90 aircraft have completed their final passenger-carrying flights before heading into retirement at the aircraft boneyard in Blytheville, Arkansas. The airline’s last MD-90 arrived in Atlanta from Houston a little before 9 a.m. local time on Tuesday followed by the last MD-88 arriving from Washington-Dulles at around 10 a.m. Originally scheduled for the end of 2020, the retirement of both models was accelerated due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
