American Airlines to add economy seatback screens by 2028
American Airlines will roll out seatback screens in economy on its narrowbody fleet starting in 2028, with a fleetwide rollout of the 876-mainline airplanes completed by the early 2030s; widebodies and the A321XLRs already have screens, while American Eagle regional jets will not. The move accompanies other upgrades including Starlink inflight connectivity on 500 planes, a push for more premium seating, and Admirals Clubs renovations, as the carrier seeks to close the gap with Delta and United.
