Delta Air Lines is said to be looking at changing the layout of its Boeing 767-400ER aircraft. The aim would be to add more Premium Select and Delta Comfort+ seats. This information has not been confirmed by the airline. It comes from a report describing the plan as a rumor. The change would respond to higher demand from travelers who are willing to pay for a better cabin experience. More passengers want extra space and upgraded amenities on long flights. The 767-400ER is used on several domestic and international routes. A modified configuration would reduce the number of standard economy seats. It would increase the share of premium seating. The airline has not given a timeline for any such change. It has not commented on the report. Other carriers have made similar moves as passenger preferences shift. Delta already operates different versions of the 767-400ER with varying premium cabin counts. Any reconfiguration would require time and investment. The aircraft would need to be taken out of service for the work. Delta has not said how many aircraft might be affected. The reported plan would likely be phased in over a period. It is not clear if the change would happen during scheduled maintenance or as a separate project. The airline regularly reviews cabin configurations based on revenue and demand data. This reported move would fit that pattern. No further details have been provided.
