History
The Shuttle came in to being in 1991. Year 1991 ( MCMXCI) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar. Pan Am was struggling financially, and Delta purchased several of that airline's assets, including its lucrative northeastern air shuttle and the several Boeing 727s being used to provide the service at that time.

For a short period beginning in late 2003, after all Boeing 727s had been eliminated from the Delta fleet and replaced with the 737-800s, Delta shifted service of its shuttle routes on to 737-300s. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout This was a temporary move as the 737-300s were also being eliminated from the fleet, and currently all Delta Shuttle routes are served by McDonnell Douglas MD-88s.
The Delta Shuttle was the last of the shuttle operations to promise a seat to passengers. If a plane was oversold, a second plane would be rolled out to form an "extra section" to fly the overflow on time. This practice ended in 2005. [1]
