https://www.planespotters.net/airline/Delta-Air-LinesWhy is this though? I've noticed that DL doesn't do retros or many special liveries for the matter (except Breast Cancer Foundation livery on the 764) whereas UA and AA have many more. I've heard that the DL management isn't a fan of retros because it is brand inconsistent or something, but I seriously wonder why they can't do a few more special liveries other than BCF and the small prints close to the aircraft nose, like on the 777...
Other SkyTeam members have planes carrying the SkyTeam branding.
It's similar with Star Alliance and oneworld members.
If you have a brand, how better to promote than having some aircraft carrying that branding?
That and it's likely the membership terms requires it.
