LATAM Group has unveiled a new Economy cabin design for their Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, following a significant investment of US$15 million. This redesigned cabin promises to enhance the onboard experience for passengers with several upgrades.
One of the key enhancements is the new onboard entertainment system, allowing Economy class passengers to connect their personal headphones via Bluetooth and enjoy a wide variety of content on 12-inch high-definition touchscreens. With over 170 movies, 550 TV show episodes, 100 music albums, and exclusive content from platforms like HBO Max, Paramount+, and Disney+, passengers can enjoy an immersive viewing experience that caters to all tastes.
Another exciting feature of the redesigned cabin is the use of seat upholstery made with 57% recycled leather. This sustainable material production reduces carbon emissions by up to 60% and saves water and land use by up to 55%. While this is the second wide-body aircraft to feature seats with recycled leather upholstery, all narrow-body aircraft in the LATAM group fleet already include this eco-friendly material. The renovated spaces also offer headrests, a 6-inch recline, and a renewed onboard entertainment system with 12-inch screens.
In addition to these features, LATAM Group has incorporated an interactive 3D map called Panasonic’s Arc™ into the cabin design. This map provides detailed information about landmarks and streets from the air, allowing passengers to explore and discover iconic places in different cities during their flight. The LATAM Group plans to introduce four aircraft with this new cabin design this year, totaling an investment of US$60 million.
Economy passengers also have the option to upgrade to LATAM+ seats for an even more comfortable travel experience. LATAM+ seats offer extra legroom, greater recline, exclusive luggage space, and priority boarding and disembarkation. These enhancements position the LATAM Group at the forefront of sustainability while offering a premium travel experience that reflects South America’s unique spirit and pride.
Overall, this new Economy cabin design promises to elevate the onboard experience for LATAM Group passengers while promoting sustainability in aviation travel.
