FORT WORTH, Texas — Starting this summer, American Airlines customers will
have access to even more premium seats as the airline introduces its
retrofitted Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft featuring enhanced finishes, more
storage space and convenient connectivity for all passengers.
Both the A319 and A320 fleets will offer more premium seats than before and
feature an elevated interior, similar in design and finish to the newly
delivered Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A321XLR, making it easier for customers to be
more productive or relax during their flight. The needs of modern travelers
were at the forefront of the cabin redesign, which offers power at every seat,
larger overhead bins, enhanced mood lighting and updated trim and finish. The
premium cabin will also feature a redesigned seat with privacy wings,
additional storage space and two cocktail beverage trays.
“We are excited to introduce our refreshed interiors and new premium seats
on our narrowbody aircraft, offering our customers more space to stow their
carry-ons and a convenient way to power their devices,” said American’s Chief
Customer Officer Heather Garboden. “We’ve strengthened the journey from curb
to cabin, and we are excited for customers to fly on these aircraft this
summer and beyond.”

American branding is incorporated on panel designs in the retrofitted design of the aircraft.
Earlier this year, American introduced free Wi-Fi, sponsored by AT&T,
across its narrowbody fleet, giving AAdvantage® members seamless,
high-speed connectivity from gate to gate, including on A319 and A320 aircraft,
which will be enabled with Starlink service in 2027.
American has also refined its premium experience on board with fresh,
chef-inspired menus and
sophisticated beverage service. Main Cabin travelers will also enjoy a
reimagined onboard experience designed to feel like home away from home.
Customers can easily charge their personal devices with the addition of USB-C
power at every seat. American
recently launched new snacks and meal offerings for customer flying in Main
Cabin, including a refreshed fruit and cheese tray, roasted turkey sandwich and
a celebratory Inflight Bites box.

A long-term investment benefiting American’s customers
The A319 and A320 retrofit programs are part of American’s continued
commitment to expand premium seating, invest in the customer experience, and
provide a consistent design and feel across its mainline and
regional fleet. This summer, American will offer more premium seats than
any other airline, across the industry’s leading domestic and short-haul
international network. American’s A319 fleet will increase the size of its
premium class cabin to 12 seats, and the A320 fleet retrofits will increase the
aircraft’s premium cabin seat count to 16.
With deliveries of premium-configured Boeing 787-9 aircraft and Airbus
A321XLRs that offer the elegant Flagship Suite® product and
retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, American expects to
increase lie-flat seats on international aircraft by more than 50% by the end
of the decade.
