"We're continuing to make smart long-term investments in our products and services to meet the expectations of our customers," Glen Hauenstein, executive vice president and chief revenue officer, said in a press release. "In just six years, we will have made updates to interiors throughout Delta's fleet giving customers improved comfort and more options to work or relax and be entertained."

The Associated Press reports that the changes mean that the airline will be able to squeeze more seats into the planes.

It will be able to add 19 seats into its 757-200s, six more on its A319s, and 10 more on its A320s.

Slim-line seats with smaller, lighter-weight frames from front to back will take up less space. New galleys will also take up less space. Some of the 757s will have fewer Business Class seats to make room for more coach seats, the AP reports.

This latest project builds on changes Delta has made to other aircraft since 2010. All Delta international widebody aircraft will include full flat-bed seats with direct-aisle access in BusinessElite by mid-2014. All transcontinental flights will have full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite by the summer of 2015.
