On January 20, 2024, Delta Flight 982, a Boeing 757-200 bound for the El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia lost its nose wheel while taxiing to the runway to depart from the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.

Not done This incident does not meet the threshold of notability set forth at WP:AIRCRASH. This is a relatively minor maintenance issue that’s received outsized attention because of the 737 MAX 9 grounding. RickyCourtney (talk) 14:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partner airlines[edit]

Partner airlines are listed under the category “subsidiaries” this is false. 67.42.77.90 (talk) 06:42, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Focus cities[edit]

Delta reportedly no longer uses the "focus city" moniker to refer to select non-hub airports. (See the TPG article titled "Delta adds 11 new Austin flights just weeks after American slashed its schedule there" [Dec. 15, 2023], which I can't add here.)

That said, on Wikipedia we typically defer to secondary sources. In accordance with that policy, I would be in favor of citing secondary sources to refer to certain airports as focus cities—namely Raleigh[1], Cincinnati[2][3], and Austin[4].
