Delta Air Lines has announced a significant update to its cabin interiors to enhance the passenger experience ahead of its centennial celebration. The airline will debut the first revamped interior this fall on a Boeing 757, with an Airbus A350 set for early next year.
As it approaches its 100th anniversary, Delta Air Lines will implement a modern cabin design. This upgrade will change the overall ambiance while keeping the current seating layout. The new design will include breathable seating materials for comfort and a darker color scheme for sophistication. Passengers will also enjoy fresh decorative motifs and branding. Enhanced lighting will create a relaxing atmosphere, while redesigned lavatories will improve convenience. Additionally, there will be extra seatback storage in economy class.
Other improvements will feature memory foam cushions in Delta Comfort+ and the main cabin on widebody aircraft. Delta One seats will switch from leather to a softer fabric, boosting luxury and comfort. This cabin interior will blend function and style.
The rollout of these upgrades will take several years, so passengers may not see the changes on every flight right away. One Boeing 757 has already been refreshed and will begin domestic and short-haul international routes soon. Delta plans to retrofit an Airbus A350 by early 2025.
Travelers can expect a smarter, more relaxing journey with Delta Air Lines, especially with the new color scheme and lighting. The lighting will adapt during the flight, creating a cozy mood during meals, a soothing glow before bedtime, and warm hues during boarding.
As Delta nears its centennial, these cabin enhancements will help maintain its high service quality. Founded on March 2, 1925, as Huff Daland Dusters, the airline became Delta Air Service in 1929. Recently, Delta opened a new Delta One lounge at Los Angeles International Airport, joining its facilities at New York JFK. The airline plans to open additional lounges at Boston Logan International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 2025.
Delta Air Lines recently reported strong financial results with a $1.2 billion net income for the third quarter. Despite some operational disruptions, the airline expects a remarkable 30% growth in pre-tax profit for the fourth quarter. This growth could mark one of its most successful financial periods.
