Delta unveils new cabin interior across its fleet
Rollout begins this fall
Delta Air Lines is set to revolutionise the customer flying experience with a comprehensive overhaul of its cabin interiors, debuting ahead of its centennial anniversary this fall. The new design will first be showcased on a narrowbody Boeing 757, which will operate domestic and short-haul international routes, followed by a widebody Airbus A350 in early 2025.
The refreshed cabin interior features modern seating materials, improved lighting, and a sophisticated colour palette. Each element has been meticulously crafted to elevate the travel experience.
“Delta has a 100-year history of creating a customer experience that feels welcoming and thoughtful,” said Mauricio Parise, Vice President of Customer Experience Design at Delta.
“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.”
The new design aims to make passengers feel at home. From breathable materials to memory foam cushions on widebody jets, the cabin interiors are focused on comfort. Extensive customer feedback has guided this transformation, ensuring the updated experience aligns with evolving passenger expectations and lifestyles.

Lighting plays a crucial role in the new cabin environment. Enhanced lighting programs are designed to create a calming atmosphere throughout the flight.
“Every flight is different, so we’ve focused on creating warm, calming and atmospheric lighting options,” Parise explained. The lighting transitions are tailored to enhance each journey phase, from boarding to mealtimes and rest periods, mimicking the natural rhythms of day and night.
New brand colours
Delta is also reimagining its brand colours, opting for a softer, warmer palette complemented by natural materials like wool. Unique touches, such as Delta widget logos and seat tags, provide subtle distinctions between different cabin classes. New design motifs, including the Infinite Grid and Celestial Sky patterns, celebrate Delta’s global network and the excitement of travel.
Lavatories will undergo a modern refresh, featuring bright walls and Azure Blue cabinets designed to promote cleanliness and safety. These enhancements contribute to an overall stylish and functional atmosphere.
Delta’s new cabin design will be rolled out with the Boeing 757 this fall, followed by the Airbus A350 in early 2025. Additional aircraft will be updated as Delta’s operational schedule allows over the coming years. The airline aims to maintain a uniform experience across its entire fleet, ensuring customers know what to expect, regardless of the aircraft type.
“Delta has taken the time to develop every detail of our new interiors,” Parise stated. “We look forward to sharing our hard work with our customers and welcoming them onboard.”
As Delta approaches its 100-year milestone, this comprehensive cabin redesign represents a commitment to customer comfort and a vision for the future of flying, setting a new standard for the airline industry.
