Robert Isom, President of American Airlines, said, “Our company will be deploying its first Boeing 737 Max aircraft into service early 2018. The seats would be more comfortable and thinner. The aircraft will offer many amenities such as larger bins, in-seat power, satellite Wi-Fi, new interiors and a world-class library offering a wide selection of shows, videos and content.” Isom also revealed that the Airbus A320 and Airbus A321 aircrafts in American Airlines and US Airways’ fleets will now have common seating configurations, which was different so far.
Meanwhile, American Airlines in a statement said that it will be updating its Boeing 737-800 aircrafts with new interiors so that it appropriately resembles the new Boeing 737 Max aircrafts. The configuration onB737-800 aircrafts is also going to be changed so that the advantage of newer, thinner seats is going to be fully made use of. With the new seat configuration, the Boeing 737-800 aircrafts will have an additional 12 seats.
