The workaround will allow Delta to avoid leaving its fleet idle.
The carrier will install 32 extra domestic business class seats (known as the first class in the United States) in place of the uncertified business class section, to be equipped with Safran Vue seats.
These aircraft will feature 44 first-class seats, 54 extra-legroom economy seats, and 66 standard economy seats, according to One Mile At A Time.
In a statement to ch-aviation, Delta Air Lines said it "continually explores new ways to make the most of our fleet to better serve our customers and support our business.
ch-aviation data shows Delta Air Lines currently has eighty-three A321-200NX in its fleet, with 72 more to be delivered in the future.
