American to add fleetwide seatback screens and more premium seats to NB fleet

[Harrison_133]

American Airlines has announced a fleetwide upgrade that will see seatback screens and more premium seats added to its narrowbody fleet starting in 2028.

• More First Class seats: Adding more opportunities to stretch out, dine and unwind. American is currently retrofitting its Airbus A319 and A320 fleets to add an additional row of First Class. The airline's upcoming deliveries of the Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft will have 24 First Class seats and the A321neo fleet will also be reconfigured to feature additional First Class seats.
• More Main Cabin Extra: Retrofitting the majority of the narrowbody fleet to expand the number of MCE seats, providing even more access to extra legroom, earlier boarding, dedicated overhead bin space and a complimentary beverage.

• To make time fly and complement its elevated cabin layouts, American will equip its narrowbody fleet with state-of-the-art seatback screens at every seat on all new Airbus and Boeing aircraft deliveries starting in 2028, as well as on retrofitted aircraft.

• American will roll out the new displays as quickly as possible, with full fleet installation expected to be complete by early next decade.
