Providing an Industry-Leading Travel Experience

The US Airways merger with American will offer a greater ability to invest in new aircraft, modern technologies, and the products and services loyal customers value most.

In addition, the new American Airlines will benefit from landmark agreements with Airbus and Boeing, designed to transform the new American Airlines fleet over the next four years and solidify its fleet plan into the next decade.

During the next four years, the merged airline is planning to take delivery of more than 600 new aircraft, most of which will be equipped with:

  • Advanced in-seat inflight entertainment systems offering thousands of hours of programming;
  • Inflight Wi-Fi for connectivity throughout the world; and
  • “Main Cabin Extra” seating with 4-6 inches of additional legroom in the Main Cabin.

In addition, the combined carrier’s fleet will also feature fully lie-flat, all-aisle access premium seating on American’s new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and Airbus 321 Transcontinental deliveries slated for later this year. Similar to US Airways’ Airbus A330 international Envoy service, American will also retrofit existing 777-200 and 767-300 aircraft to include fully lie-flat premium seating in an effort to provide a consistent experience for customers flying on the combined carrier.
