On 17 March 2016, Airbus delivered N301DN, the first Airbus A321-200 aircraft of Delta Airlines. The airplane was ferried from Hamburg to the main hub of Delta Airlines, Atlanta. Atlanta may be the home for N301DN for more than 20 years later. Every aircraft will fly for the very first time. So also with N301DN. Until now, it logged 18 hours 26 minutes test flight with seven takeoffs and landing cycle. But, it had never flown with passengers before. But, not for a long time. Delta Airlines announced if they scheduled the first passengers flight of Delta Airlines' Airbus A321-200. The inaugural flight will take place on 2 May 2016 from Atlanta to Orlando. It will be the first step in the next twenty years (or maybe for shorter or for longer times) in Delta Airlines. Good luck Delta Airlines and Airbus A321-200!
