N408DX

The airframe carries tail number N408DX and is an Airbus A330-941 (A330-900neo) built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 1962. It is owned by Delta Air Lines Inc (a corporation based in Atlanta, GA, US) and is registered in the US. The airframe entered service with its current operator shortly after manufacture and has remained on the operator's registry since delivery; delivered new to Delta in 2020 is the principal recorded ownership event. Condition and valuation highlights are typical for a modern, low-cycle long-range widebody of its vintage, with lifecycle considerations driven by airframe hours, engine shop visits, and cabin configuration.

This specific A330-900neo is outfitted with a three-class cabin, coded C29 / W28 / Y224 (29 Business, 28 Premium Economy, 224 Economy) for a total of 281 seats, reflecting a dense long-range configuration optimized for transoceanic and high-demand trunk routes. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-haul international services and high-capacity medium-haul sectors where the A330neo's range and fuel efficiency are used to replace older widebodies. Maintenance considerations center on the Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engine family and the neo-specific aerodynamic and systems enhancements; routine shop visits and engine maintenance planning are primary operational cost drivers. Based at the owner/operator's hub in Atlanta, GA, the aircraft supports network flexibility and fleet commonality within Delta's widebody fleet.

The Airbus A330-941 (A330-900neo) occupies the long-range, medium-capacity widebody niche, offering improved fuel burn and range relative to legacy A330ceo variants. With a 7,200 nm range and a cruise of 493 kts, it competes against modern twin-aisle types such as later-generation Boeing 787 variants and competing widebodies in airline fleet renewal programs. Demand among major carriers and lessors focuses on operational efficiency and cabin density; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are shaped primarily by engine maintenance intervals, airframe utilization, and the popularity of three-class cabin layouts like the one installed aboard N408DX.
