ATLANTA, Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lay back,
relax and enjoy the flight in the comfort, privacy and exclusivity
of your own suite. Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) is redefining
international business class travel with the introduction of the
Delta One suite, the first business class cabin to feature a
sliding door at each suite.
Designed with an emphasis on exceptional customer comfort and
privacy, the Delta One suite offers each customer a private space
accessed by a sliding door with thoughtfully designed personal
stowage areas, an advanced in-flight entertainment system and
premium trim and finishes to create an unparalleled business class
experience with a comfortable, residential feel.
The Delta One suite will debut on Delta's first Airbus A350, due
to enter service in fall 2017. Each aircraft will feature 32
suites.
In addition to full flat-bed seats with direct aisle access,
which the airline introduced eight years ago, the Delta One suite
features:
- A full-height door at every suite
- Sliding privacy dividers between center suites
- In-suite, customizable ambient lighting
- Dedicated stowage compartments for shoes, headphones and
laptops
- Contemporary design featuring premium trim and finishes
- Memory foam-enhanced comfort cushion
- An 18-inch, high resolution in-flight entertainment monitor,
the largest among U.S. carriers
- A universal power outlet and high-powered USB port at every
seat
"Delta constantly listens to customers and responds with
products that deliver what they want. After setting the standard
with the introduction of full flat-bed seats with direct aisle
access in 2008, Delta is again elevating the international business
class experience," said Tim Mapes,
Delta's Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "Added
comfort and privacy are important to business travelers, and that
drove the design of the all-new Delta One suite."
Delta completed installation of full flat-bed seats with direct
aisle access on all of its widebody aircraft operating long-haul
international flights in 2014. Delta One service includes the
features Delta customers have grown to expect, such as chef-curated
meals, wine pairings by Delta's Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson,
Westin Heavenly In-Flight Bedding, noise-canceling headsets, TUMI
amenity kits featuring Kiehl's Since 1851 premium skincare, and
in-flight loungewear on select flights.
Following the A350 debut, the Delta One suite will progressively
roll out on Delta's Boeing 777 fleet. Delta will be the first
U.S. airline to take delivery of the A350, which will primarily
serve routes between the U.S. and Asia.
Delta has made significant investments in its on-board product
and the customer experience with orders for hundreds of new
aircraft and a cabin modernization program that includes new seats,
seatback entertainment systems, high capacity overhead bins, new
lavatories, ambient lighting, access to Wi-Fi on nearly all flights
and other enhancements.
Delta Air Lines serves nearly 180 million customers each year.
