Delta Air Lines is set to wow passengers with a stunning new cabin design that showcases the future of flying. Debuting on a narrowbody Boeing 757 aircraft that will begin flying on domestic and short haul international routes later this fall, followed by a widebody Airbus A350 in early 2025.

From fresh seating materials, enhanced lighting and a renewed colour palette, to new decorative motifs and signature branding, every aspect of the cabin interior has been carefully planned and thoughtfully redesigned to elevate the travel experience says the airline.

“Delta has a 100-year history of creating a customer experience that feels welcoming and thoughtful with intentional design elements woven into every aspect of a customer’s travel,” said Mauricio Parise, Vice President – Customer Experience Design.

Lavatory Makeover

“As we embark on our next century of flying, this refreshed cabin interior infuses utility with beauty to create an atmosphere that feels fresh, elevated, and timeless while reflecting our customers’ evolving tastes and expectations.

“The new cabin design features an interior uniquely and intentionally designed to make Delta customers feel at home during their travels. Breathable materials, comfortable memory-foam cushions on widebody jets, and lighting that promotes relaxation will span the fleet. 

Delta Dine When You Like

“Each design feature was carefully thought out with a focus on the details that matter most to our customers. As always, Delta customers and employees are at the heart of everything we do; this nose-to-tail transformation of our cabin interior is based on extensive feedback and research to create a cabin experience that reflects our customers’ changing expectations and lifestyles.

“Enhanced lighting programs have been intentionally designed to create a cohesive and calming onboard environment. With mood lighting designed to suit each phase of the flight, customers will feel well-grounded and better adjusted to their time zone. 

“Every flight is different, so we’ve focused on creating warm, calming and atmospheric lighting options that create an environment for customers to rest and relax, or stay productive as they wish,” said Parise. “For boarding, we’ve focused on the ‘moment of deceleration’ – warm and inviting lighting that makes the cabin appear spacious and open. At mealtimes, we queue hues that feel like you’re at a candlelit dinner – making meals more natural and inviting.  As the lights dim for sleep, we borrow from the sunset and slowly remove blue light while bringing in warm amber tones which are reminiscent of a sunset glow. When it’s time to wake up, the cabin slowly brightens into morning and daylight.”

The airline said that it is reimagining how it uses its brand colours by leaning into a softer, warmer and more modern color palette with natural materials such as wool and accents of Delta’s original heritage colors throughout. The design is fresh, clean and elegant and elevates key Delta brand elements.

Lavatories will also be refreshed with bright walls and an accent wall opposite the mirror in the Celestial Sky pattern. Cabinets in the lavatories will be in a fresh and modern Azure Blue color. The flooring is made from a smooth material with specks of color, ensuring improved cleanliness and safe traction.

Delta Main Cabin

Delta’s new cabin design will first debut on a narrowbody Boeing 757 aircraft that will begin flying on domestic and short haul international routes later this fall. In early 2025, a widebody Airbus A350 will debut with the new design on long haul international routes. Additional aircraft will receive the new cabin design as Delta’s schedule and operation allows over the next few years. 

“Delta has taken the time to develop every detail of our new interiors; the team was intentional in creating an experience that mimics our customers’ lifestyles and puts them at ease as soon as they board our aircraft,” concluded Parise. “We look forward to sharing our hard work with our customers and welcoming them onboard.”
