It takes a lot of time and energy to introduce a new aircraft and the necessary training of the AME's, ground handlers. Everybody has to be up to speed, even the pilots must fly this new aircraft in a simulator before they bring a new aircraft and pilots who will fly this beauty into their fleet. Still it takes time for safety issues. Delta will learn everything about the new 220's before a passenger carrying revenue flight must be prepared very carefully, hence the lag time to until introduction.
little confused why this a220 will not fly revenue trips until early 2019. ;
Delta started selling tickets on10/13/18 for the firs A220 flight scheduled for 01/31/19. I believe New York to Boston. Not sure if LGA or JFK.
