...Delta Airlines is one of the first carriers to order new on-board lavatories that will be smaller than the 3x3-foot-dimension toilets currently widely in use.
These reduced-sized bathrooms will be fitted to the airline’s 737-900 aircraft, and will allow Delta to fit four more seats into the planes’ economy-class cabins.
The airline says that passengers will not notice the difference, as the extra room will be harvested from space behind the sink units, which is currently wasted.
The wall of the lavatory will also be ‘sculpted’ to let the seats in front of it recline.
These lesser-proportioned loos will start to appear on the US-based airline’s fleet of 737 aircraft later this year, but only in the economy compartments.
