Following the delivery of its first Airbus A220-100 last week, Delta shared a sneak peek of the aircraft’s modern interior with Delta people as the airline celebrated the 10th year anniversary of its merger with Northwest.

“As we look back at our growth over the past 10 years since the Delta-Northwest merger, we reflect on the complementary strengths the two airlines brought to form a combined company that’s well positioned to continue leading the industry in decades to come,” said Gil West, Delta’s Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “In many ways, the A220 represents our continued work to make flying better for everyone and represents the go-forward objectives of our fleet strategy.”
Designed to be experience-rich for customers, Delta’s A220 will bring elements of the international travel experience that customers have enjoyed on widebody aircraft — like Delta’s flagship A350 — to domestic routes for customers to enjoy at home.
Inaugural A220 flights are set to depart on Jan. 31, from Delta’s hub at New York’s LaGuardia airport to its growing operation at Boston Logan International, and from LaGuardia to top business destination Dallas/Ft. Worth.
Highlights of Delta’s A220-100 include:
•109 seats total, including seating for 12 in First Class, 15 in Delta Comfort+ and 82 in Main Cabin
•State-of-the-art interior featuring seat-back screens, 2Ku Wi-Fi and among the widest seats of any narrow-body aircraft
•Thoughtful innovations like high-capacity overhead bins, extra-large windows and full-spectrum LED ambient lighting
A walkthrough of the cabins:
Main Cabin
Delta’s A220s will feature 18.6″ wide Main Cabin seats — the widest Main Cabin seats in Delta’s fleet — in a two-by-three layout. Each customer will also have personal power ports and complimentary premium entertainment on individual seat-back screens.
Delta Comfort+
Customers flying in Delta Comfort+ on the A220 can expect thoughtful extras, like more legroom and dedicated overhead bin space, in a customer-preferred two-by-three seat configuration.
First Class
In the First Class cabin, customers can look forward to the debut of a new, modern First Class seat design in a two-by-two layout, featuring the largest IFE screens of any Delta domestic First Class seat.
Powered by Pratt & Whitney’s latest geared turbofan PW1500G engine, the A220 takes advantage of advanced technology and composite materials designed to deliver an expected 20 percent improvement in fuel efficiency over similar-sized aircraft when it enters service with Delta.
