Airline toilets shrink to fit more passengers

Thursday, 03 Apr, 2013 0

Toilets on board Delta Airlines are to shrink further to allow for more seats on board.

The new reduced-sized bathrooms, that measure less than the current 3×3 ft toilets widely in use, will allow four more seats in the economy class cabin and the American airline is said to be one of the first customers.

Delta told the Daily Mail 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.

The smaller toilets will start to appear on the US-based airline’s fleet of 737 aircraft later this year.
