Delta Airlines is set to phase in new cabin interiors.
The rollout will begin in the latter half of this fall on Boeing 757 models, and by early 2025, it will extend to Airbus A350 models. The redesign aims to make passengers feel as though they are at home during their travels, featuring memory foam cushions and relaxing lighting effects, alongside a revamped use of the brand’s colors.
In Delta One, the new fabric seats will be made from a soft, breathable wool-nylon blend, with headrests featuring engineered leather. In Delta Premium Select and First Class, breathable leather is used atop shape-memory cushions. For Delta Comfort Plus and the Main Cabin, new memory foam cushions are incorporated into seats designed with distinctive stitching and accent stripes.
Lighting is used to create a unifying and calming atmosphere inside the plane, with mood lighting to help passengers adjust their body clocks to different time zones. Upon boarding, the cabins are lit to appear spacious and open, meal times are illuminated like a candlelit dinner, and sleeping times mimic sunsets or dusk, while wake-up times are brightened with sunlight akin to dawn.
