Over the past several years, LATAM has been installing a new business class product on its long haul aircraft. The airline hasn’t even finished this installation, but has just introduced yet another new business class seat. We first learned about these plans last year, but the first aircraft with these interiors is now in service.
Basics of LATAM’s new business class suites
LATAM is modernizing the business class product on much of its Boeing 787 fleet. Specifically, the airline is installing business class suites with doors on 24 of its Dreamliner aircraft, including 10 787-8s and 14 787-9s. In total, the airline is spending $360 million on retrofitting its 787s, and that also includes investing in the interiors of the economy cabin.
