New Lie-Flat Business Class Seats On Transatlantic Services
August 2005
American Airlines today announced plans to install new lie-flat seats and enhanced
inflight entertainment in the Business Class cabin on all of the airline's Boeing 767-300
and Boeing 777 aircraft. American also announced plans for additional cabin improvements
for its two-class Boeing 767-300 fleet, including larger and more spacious overhead bins.
The new lie-flat business class seats will be manufactured by Recaro, a leading specialist
in transportation design.
Enhancements to the Boeing 767-300 Business Class cabin are scheduled to begin in 2006.
American will begin installing the new Business Class seats on the Boeing 777 fleet beginning
in 2007. American's Boeing 777 aircraft operate on all of the airline's services from London
Heathrow and most services from London Gatwick. The Boeing 767-300 operates transatlantic services
from Dublin, Manchester and Glasgow as well as selected flights from London Gatwick. Both
aircraft types operate on selected routes within American's network across the USA and Latin
America.
Additionally, American is investing in the Boeing 777 First Class cabin by extending
customer-favourite Flagship Suites to 20 additional aircraft, thus creating a superior product
across the fleet. Flagship Suite was introduced in 2000 on selected Boeing 777 aircraft and
features a unique seat design that can be swiveled into different positions for working or
watching inflight entertainment. It also converts into a fully flat bed.
"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 Craig Kreeger, Vice
President Europe & Pacific. "Our new Business Class product will provide our customers with a
comfortable and highly adjustable lie-flat seat, as well as a generous 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
Amercian's premium customers the products and services they value most."
Kreeger added that, based on rave 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.
