Last month, Delta Air Lines announced a partnership with JetZero, aiming to bring the latter's blended-wing-body aircraft to commercial viability. The collaboration is centered on JetZero's fuel-efficient aircraft design, which is expected to use 50% less fuel compared to current models.
Delta's Chief Sustainability Officer Amelia DeLuca and JetZero's CEO Tom O’Leary appeared on The Morning X to discuss the collaboration. O’Leary stated, "Delta knows their customers so well, and we’re just so happy to be able to partner with them as we take this new shape...that allows us to look at really everything on the plane and say ‘How can we do this better?'”
The partnership between the two companies focuses on revolutionizing both the customer and employee experience through the aircraft's novel design. Delta plans to lend its operational expertise to facilitate the aircraft's commercial viability. This includes consulting on the plane's interior design to enhance experience features like dedicated overhead bin space, accessible seats, and lavatories.
