History

Historical Context

Pan Am’s 1978 launch of ‘Clipper Class’ on its Boeing 707-320s, of which it operated 120, marked the first business cabin, prompting rivals such as British Airways to debut Club World in October 1978 and KLM’s full-fare facilities in 1976. That legacy of premium segregation underlies Delta’s 2024 expansion of Delta One with Wagyu burgers, a larger Porsche shuttle fleet, and a curated wine list.
