Delta Flight Museum reopens in Atlanta
The Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta has once again opened its doors after a major refurbishment.
A $10 million upgrade to facilities is complete and will now be open to the public six days a week with adult admission costing $12.
Previously admission was by prior reservations only.
The reopening ceremony took place Tuesday attended by Delta CEO Richard Anderson, Gov. Nathan Deal and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
Mayor Reed said the city of Atlanta will promote the museum as a major attraction on a par with the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola.
He also said the museum will form a marketing partnership with the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Majority of the renovation costs came from a $8.4 million grant from the Delta Air Lines Foundation.
The 68,000 square-foot museum is located close to Delta’s headquarters near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and housed in 1940’s maintenance hangars, which are listed as a Historic Aerospace Site.
It features a wide array of aviation memorabilia, historic planes, a full-motion flight simulator, a theater, a conference room and gift shop.
