American Airlines to introduce angled lie-Flat Business Class seats on Boeing 767-300 and Boeing 777 Aircraft
American Airlines has announced plans to install new lie-flat seats and
enhanced inflight entertainment in the Business Class cabin on all
Boeing 767-300s and Boeing 777 aircraft. American also announced plans
for additional cabin improvements on the Boeing 767-300, including
larger and more spacious overhead bins. The new lie-flat business class
seats will be manufactured by Recaro, a leading specialist in aviation
seating.
Enhancements to the Boeing 767-300 Business Class cabin are slated to
begin in 2006.
American Airlines will begin installing the new Business Class seats on
the Boeing 777 fleet beginning in 2007. Additionally, American Airlines
is investing in the Boeing 777 First Class cabin by extending Flagship
Suites to 20 additional aircraft, thus creating a superior product
across the fleet.
"We know how important it is to our passengers to be comfortable on
their international flights, whether they are working, enjoying a meal
and a movie, or just relaxing," said Dan Garton, Executive Vice
President of Marketing. "Our new Business Class product will provide our
customers with a comfortable and highly adjustable lie-flat seat, as
well as quite a bit of work space and state-of-the-art inflight
entertainment, all of which will create a world- class Business Class
experience.
"The new cabin enhancements on the Boeing 767-300s and the Boeing 777s
will result in a consistent and highly competitive American product in
the marketplace, and will deliver to American Airlines premium customers the
products and services they value most," Garton said.
Garton added that, based on reviews from 777 First Class customers on
the Flagship Suite product, American is making the investment to ensure
passengers will have this product every time they fly on a 777.
American Airlines Boeing 767 and 777 fleets are operated on all of the
transatlantic and transpacific routes, and on select routes to Latin
America, as well as certain domestic routes.
American Airlines also announces plans for extending its popular First Class
Flagship Suites to all 777s.
