Bigger Jets on Peoria-Atlanta/Detroit Runs?
Delta Connection CRJ900 at Indianapolis Int'l Airport on August 11, 2017 Peoria is getting larger jets to Atlanta and Detroit in November. The upgrade appears temporary, but is likely preliminary to regular deployment. Thanks to one of my commenters, I know that all Delta Connection flights to Atlanta and Detroit are being operated by 76-seat Bombardier CRJ900 twinjets between Sunday, November 4 and Monday, November 26. I checked online schedules to confirm it. All flights revert to CRJ200s on November 27. The upgrade is probably a trial run, and could well be cancelled, but regional carriers are replacing 50-seat jets with larger types such as these. Peoria will get them eventually. - David P. Jordan
