Delta Air Lines will soon replace its Bombardier CRJ700 regional jets with Embraer E175 aircraft on flights to Aspen, Colorado. The upgrade is part of Delta Connection service operated by SkyWest in partnership with Delta Air Lines, aiming to improve travel comfort and increase capacity for passengers visiting the Rocky Mountain resort town.
The Embraer E175 features a larger cabin, more spacious overhead bins, and increased cargo space. This change is intended to help travelers who bring skis, snowboards, and other bulky winter gear to Aspen. The new planes are also described as more modern and quieter than their predecessors, with larger windows offering better views of the Rockies.
According to Amy Martin, Delta Air Lines Vice President of Network Planning: “Aspen is one of the most iconic ski destinations in the world, and we’re making sure your travel experience matches the magic of the mountains. This aircraft change isn’t just about a new look, it’s about solving real challenges for our customers and enhancing every leg of the journey.”
