American Airlines brings back seatback screens in premium push

American Airlines is reintroducing seatback screens on all new narrow-body aircrafts starting in 2028, a move aimed at enhancing the passenger experience and closing the profit gap with competitors like United and Delta. This decision reverses a decade-long strategy of removing screens to save weight and costs, opting instead for improved 4K displays with USB-C charging and Bluetooth. The airline is also expanding premium seating options and implementing Starlink Wi-Fi across its fleet as part of a broader push to attract higher-spending travelers. AI
