Since 1995, the Delta Flight Museum has allowed visitors from around the world to explore aviation history, celebrate the story and people of Delta, and discover the future of flight. The Museum underwent a major renovation several years ago, transforming it into a world-class attraction that offers engaging exhibits and interactive programming for aviation enthusiasts of all ages.
Standing in the heart of Delta’s Atlanta headquarters, the 68,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art attraction makes a perfect outing for family, friends, school groups and more. The space also can be rented for special events, including business meetings, conferences and weddings. With historic glamour and modern amenities, the Museum is a one-of-a-kind venue within a mile of the world’s busiest airport.
History and Renovation
The Delta Flight Museum is located in Delta's original 1940s-era aircraft hangars in Atlanta. The hangars became the Delta Air Transport Heritage Museum and restoration facility for one of Delta’s iconic 21‐passenger Douglas DC‐3 aircraft in 1995. In 2011, the attraction was designated a Historic Aerospace Site.
Our 2012-2014 renovation of the Museum brought new life to the facility. Renovation funding was provided by The Delta Air Lines Foundation, as well as generous gifts from Delta Air Lines employees, retirees and friends of the Museum. The Delta Flight Museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Our Space
The Museum consists of two airplane hangars and a plaza area across the parking lot. Historic Hangars 1 and 2 are the primary exhibition spaces, with a focus on the history of Delta and its family airlines from the 1920s to today. In front of Hangar 1 is a DC-7B plane and across the parking lot is the 747 Plaza featuring a Boeing 747 plane open to visitors, an event pavilion with restrooms, and a static DC-9 and Boeing 757.
