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. During this transition, the hangars were air conditioned and modernized, allowing for new exhibitions and a better visitor experience. This also allowed for a more comfortable event experience and drastically grew the Museum's event rental program.
Boeing 747-400 aircraft Ship 6301 joined the Museum fleet in 2016, and opened to visitors in 2017. The addition of this plane across the parking lot from the hangars allowed for a second location for visitors to explore, and a chance to highlight a more modern aircraft.
Beginning December 2024, the Museum has embarked on a large-scale exhibition refresh project in the hangars. This project is expected to last through March 2025, in celebration of the centennial celebration of Delta Air Lines. Renovation funding is being provided by The Delta Air Lines Foundation, as well as generous gifts from Delta Air Lines employees, retirees and friends of the Museum.

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.
