American Airlines to add seatback screens, bigger first class in race to catch up to Delta and United

American Airlines announced plans to install 4K seatback screens, Bluetooth audio, and USB-C charging across all cabins by the early 2030s, including retrofits. The airline is also adding more first-class and extra-legroom seats on new aircraft like the A321neo and 737 Max 10. These upgrades aim to close a significant profit gap with rivals Delta and United, as American reported $71 million in Q2 profits compared to their billions.
