Delta Revitalizing Boeing 747-400 Fleet with New Interiors
New full-flat beds in BusinessElite, Economy class seats with personal video
on-demand among customer benefits
Investment reflects Delta’s deep commitment to Asia service
TOKYO, Sept. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today
unveiled plans for the complete revitalization of its fleet of Boeing 747-400
aircraft flying primarily from the Tokyo-Narita hub. Between summer 2011 and
2012, Delta will equip each of its 16 747-400s with new fully horizontal
flat-bed seats in the BusinessElite cabin and new Economy class seats
featuring personal, on-demand entertainment, increased personal space and
added under-seat storage.
The investments are the latest in Delta’s previously announced plan to
invest more than $1 billion in enhanced global products and services through
2013. When complete, Delta will offer full flat-bed seats on more than 100
trans-oceanic aircraft, including all Boeing 777s, 767s and 747s, and will
feature personal, in-seat entertainment for both BusinessElite and Economy
class customers on all widebody flights.
“The multimillion dollar investment we are making to completely revitalize
our trans-oceanic fleet speaks to our strong commitment to the Asian market,”
Delta President Ed Bastian said in a press briefing here today. “While we
have solidly positioned ourselves as the leading U.S. carrier across the
Pacific in terms of flights and destinations, we are now taking steps to
enhance the products and services offered across our Asian-Pacific network to
position Delta as a leader in in-flight service.”
BusinessElite enhancements
The 747 upgrades will bring substantial changes to both decks of the aircraft
’s BusinessElite cabin. The new, custom-designed product will feature 48
horizontal flat-bed seats with direct aisle access at each seat. Window seats
will face the window for improved privacy and center seats will be angled
toward each other for the convenience of customers traveling together.
The new seat, manufactured by Weber Aircraft LLC, will be 81.7 inches in
length and 20.5 inches wide, similar to the flat-bed product currently
offered on Delta’s 777-200LR fleet. It also will feature a 120-volt
universal power outlet, USB port, personal LED reading lamp and Panasonic’s
15.4 inch personal video monitors with instant access to 250 new and classic
movies, premium programming from HBO and Showtime, video games and more than
4,000 digital music tracks.
“The design of our flat-bed product meets customers’ desire for comfortable
sleep, direct aisle access and ample storage and work space when they travel
on long-haul flights,” Bastian said. “We have had great success from a
customer service and business standpoint with flat-bed service since it first
rolled out on our 777 fleet, and we expect similar results when customers
experience our new trans-Pacific 747 and 767 BusinessElite product beginning
next year.”
In the last year, Delta has improved meal service in BusinessElite across the
Pacific with the introduction of personal, hand-served entrees, signature
dishes created by celebrity chef Michele Bernstein and master sommelier
Andrea Robinson, expanded dessert options and improved Japanese meal options
created by Delta’s flight kitchen in Tokyo.
Economy class improvements
Customers in Economy class on the 747-400 will benefit from the industry’s
first seat designed collaboratively by a seat manufacturer and an in-flight
entertainment company, Weber Aircraft and Panasonic Avionics Corporation, to
fully incorporate seat and entertainment functionality into one product.
Using a nine-inch screen, the new seat’s embedded touch-screen entertainment
system will offer each customer access to 250 movie titles, hundreds of
television shows, 4,000 digital music tracks, personalized music playlists,
more than a dozen interactive games and a USB port to charge iPods and other
personal electronic devices.
The new seats offer up to 1.5 inches more personal space and increased
under-seat storage through a “slimline” design that more efficiently uses
cabin space than the older, heavier seats they replace. The upgraded seats
also feature adjustable headrests and deliver environmental benefits through
the Panasonic Eco 9i Integrated Smart Monitors that use 30 percent less
energy and are 60 percent lighter than entertainment systems installed on
other Delta aircraft.
Delta’s 747s are dedicated largely to trans-Pacific and intra-Asia flights
to and from the Tokyo-Narita hub, including routes connecting Tokyo to
Detroit, Honolulu, Manila, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York-JFK and Shanghai.
When reconfigured, the 747s will accommodate 386 customers with 48
BusinessElite seats and 338 Economy class seats.
Delta in Asia
During the last several years, Delta has significantly increased its service
across Asia-Pacific, expanding from 222 weekly departures in summer 2006 to
275 in summer 2010. Recently added routes include Tokyo-Narita to New
York-JFK and Salt Lake City (June 2009); Shanghai to Detroit (June 2009);
Sydney to Los Angeles (July 2009); Osaka to Seattle (June 2010); Beijing to
Seattle (June 2010); Seoul-Incheon to Detroit (June 2010); Hong Kong to
Detroit (June 2010); Nagoya to Honolulu (December 2010); and Tokyo-Narita to
Palau (December 2010).
Delta also has announced plans to begin new nonstop service between
Tokyo-Haneda and Detroit and Los Angeles in 2011.
“As the leading U.S. carrier to the region, we are solidly positioned to
continue to expand convenience and choice for Asia-originating or Asia-bound
travelers in one of the world’s fastest growing travel markets,” Bastian
said. “Our history of investment in the region is underscored by our more
than 2,300 Pacific-based employees in nine countries and our continued
commitment to expansion and product renewal.”
Additionally, Delta continues to expand its alliance relationships across the
region with Vietnam Airlines joining the global SkyTeam alliance in June and
the announcement that China Eastern Airlines will join the alliance in 2011.
