According to Delta, the design will allow all passengers a standard seat to accommodate wheelchair restraints.
Travelers will have access to a headrest, center console tray tables, and a cocktail table that will adjust to serve passengers with wheelchairs in place.
This patented design offers new possibilities for customers with disabilities to enjoy a travel experience they truly deserve,” said Rick Salanitri, President of Delta Flight Products.
The airline said it will take about 18 months to test out the restraints and get safety reviews.
