American to Debut Boeing 777-300ER on London Route

Posted 02/12/2011

It is business as usual at American Airlines despite this week’s Chapter 11 reorganisation filing with a New York Bankruptcy Court.  The US major has announced details of its interior selections for its fleet of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, including lie-flat First and Business Class seats, seating plans that will give the airline the opportunity to offer a premium product in the main cabin, and Wi-Fi capability to keep customers connected while traveling internationally. 

American is the first US carrier to acquire the 777-300ER and is due to take delivery of ten aircraft in 2012 and 2013.  It has confirmed that London will be the first market for the new variant although it has not yet confirmed its proposed entry into service plans.
