Delta is elevating the ski season travel experience to Aspen. Starting this November, the airline, through its Delta Connection partner SkyWest, will upgrade the journey to the mountains by replacing CRJ-700 aircraft with sleek, spacious Embraer jets.
Customers can now expect more room for their gear. With a larger cargo hold, these aircraft significantly reduce bulk-out issues, making it easier to bring skis, snowboards, and winter gear without worry.
Whether packing for a weekend on the slopes or a weeklong winter escape, the Embraer jets offer improved baggage capacity and handling—especially critical at high-demand airports like Aspen.
Travelers can also enjoy a quieter, more comfortable ride now with modern interiors, larger windows and more personal space. It’s a noticeable upgrade from the CRJ-700.
Aspen’s unique terrain and weather conditions demand aircraft that can perform. The Embraer jets are well-suited for mountain flying, offering enhanced operational reliability and performance.
This fleet change will apply to all SkyWest flights operating as Delta Connection from Atlanta (ATL) and Los Angeles (LAX) to Aspen (ASE).
This change is part of Delta’s ongoing commitment to delivering a premium experience to its customers—whether they're flying for the powder, the après-ski, or the views.
