The McDonnell Douglas MD-90, later marketed by Boeing, is a retired five-abreast single-aisle airliner developed from the MD-80 and the largest member of the DC-9 family. A fuselage about 5 feet longer than the MD-88 seats around 153 passengers over a range of up to 2,455 nautical miles. The more fuel efficient IAE V2500 high bypass turbofans were chosen after Delta Air Lines became launch customer in November 1989. The MD-90 first flew in February 1993 and was delivered to Delta in February 1995. Production at Long Beach, California, ended in 2000 after 116 deliveries, and Delta flew the last passenger service in June 2020.
