The McDonnell Douglas MD-90 is a single-aisle airliner developed by McDonnell Douglas from the MD-80, itself derived from the DC-9.
After the more fuel-efficient IAE V2500 high-bypass turbofan was selected, Delta Air Lines became the launch customer on November 14, 1989.
It first flew on February 22, 1993 and the first MD-90 was delivered to Delta in February 1995.
The MD-90 competed with the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737 Next Generation.
Its 5 ft (1.4 m) longer fuselage seats 153 passengers in a mixed configuration over up to 2,455 nmi (4,547 km), making it the largest DC-9 version. It kept the MD-88's electronic flight instrument system (EFIS).
The shorter MD-95 was renamed the Boeing 717 after McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing in 1997.
Production ended in 2000 after 116 deliveries. Delta Air Lines flew the final passenger flight on June 2, 2020.
