N122DU

This airframe, registered as N122DU, is an Airbus-built A220-100 (listed as A220-171 / BD-500-1A10) with manufacturer serial number 50041, completed in 2019. The airframe is owned and operated by Delta Air Lines, a corporation based in Atlanta, GA, United States, and is registered in the US registry. Delivered to Delta in 2019, the aircraft is part of the carrier’s fleet operating under a two-class Comfort configuration; current market valuation for the airframe is approximately $81,000,000.

N122DU is configured in Delta’s two-class Comfort layout with a total of 109 seats distributed as 12 Business / 15 Comfort / 82 Economy (total 109). The aircraft’s mission profile typically covers short- to medium-haul mainline routes consistent with its 3,600 nm maximum range and a cruise speed near 447 kts, allowing transcontinental sectors and denser regional trunk routes. The pair of Pratt & Whitney PW1524G geared turbofan engines provide modern fuel-efficiency features that influence operator maintenance planning, spare-parts provisioning, and scheduled shop visits relative to legacy turbofans. Based at Delta’s operational centers in Atlanta, GA, United States, this airframe follows the carrier’s standard heavy-rotation service and scheduled maintenance intervals under the US registry.

The Airbus A220-100 (A220-171 / BD-500-1A10) occupies a performance niche between regional jets and larger single-aisle airliners, offering a combination of lower trip costs and extended range for its class. Competing models include higher-capacity regional and small single-aisle types, but the A220’s fuel-efficient PW1524G engines and cabin comfort have driven demand among mainline carriers adapting capacity to thinner long-range sectors. For buyers and lessors, considerations include the model’s strong operator support, residual value influenced by newer-generation turbofan technology, and maintenance regimes tied to the A220’s distinct systems and spares pipeline.
