Delta Airlines to launch fully flat seats

Delta Airlines to launch fully flat seats
Delta Airlines has announced the introduction of fully horizontal seats for its BusinessElite customers.

Due to be launched in early 2008, the seats will make the company the first US airline to sell such seats to its business-class passengers.

In addition, the seats will include the airline's on-demand digital entertainment system.

The launch of the seats will coincide with the delivery of two new Boeing 777 Long Range aircraft.

"As we continue to grow to ultra long-haul destinations across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, we want to give our valued business class customers the utmost in comfort and entertainment," commented Jim Whitehurst, chief operating officer for Delta Airlines.

"The experience we're creating for premium international travellers will offer an unmatched combination of privacy and comfort with the option to lie completely flat, unlike some competitors who offer an angled lie-flat product."

Delta Airlines also expects to introduce these sleeper seats to its 767 aircraft by 2010.
