Delta Air Lines’ Next Widebody Will Carry 101 Premium Seats & Barely Any Economy

Delta Air Lines is preparing to introduce a widebody aircraft that reflects its changing business model. The Airbus A350-1000 will feature 101 premium seats, including 53 business-class suites and 48 premium economy seats, giving front-of-cabin passengers far more prominence than on a conventional long-haul configuration. The surprising part is what the decision says about the airline’s priorities.
