Overview
- Delta’s chief commercial officer, Joe Esposito, confirmed in a Business Traveller interview that more spacious seats will appear in the bulkhead row of upcoming Delta One cabins.
- The new seats will sit in the first row and use extra bulkhead space to create a larger suite than standard business class.
- Delta plans the debut on new Airbus A350-1000 jets with Thompson Aero’s VantageNOVA seats, while retrofitted A330-200/300s will use Thompson’s Vantage XL hardware.
- Delta has not said whether these seats will be sold as a separate fare, offered as a paid upgrade, or reserved for top-tier elites.
- The move tracks similar front-row premium options at American and United, and it follows Delta renderings that did not show a distinct first-row product.
