ANA to Receive Boeing 787-9s With New International Cabin Interiors From November
ANA Holdings has revealed that it is continuing discussions with Boeing to secure the early delivery of Boeing 787-9 aircraft featuring a new cabin configuration for All Nippon Airways (ANA) international services.
The new cabin was announced at the Paris Air Show in June 2025. The delivery schedule has been postponed several times, with the most recent plan calling for delivery from November onward.
The cabin will have a total of 206 seats: 48 in Business Class, 21 in Premium Economy Class, and 137 in Economy Class.
The Business Class “THE Room FX” was developed in collaboration with Safran Seats and Acumen Design Associate. It features a 103-inch seat pitch in a 1-2-1 configuration. The suite doors and walls have been made thinner, while curved lines have been incorporated into the seatbacks. Forward- and rear-facing seats are arranged in an alternating layout. The seats are wider than those on ANA’s current Boeing 787-9 aircraft and use a pre-reclined design, with the seatback reclined in advance. The monitor has also been enlarged to 24 inches, and the seats feature wireless charging, USB-C and USB-A ports, AC power outlets, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Premium Economy Class will feature the “R4” seat by RECARO Aircraft Seating. It includes a six-way adjustable headrest, legrest, footrest, privacy wings, reading light, PET bottle holder, storage beneath the armrest, AC power outlet, and USB power. The seat has a single-piece table with an integrated mobile-device holder, as well as a design that reduces the risk of injury if a passenger accidentally lets go while stowing the table. The aisle-side armrest can be easily raised to improve accessibility for wheelchair users. Weight has also been reduced by up to 10%. Seat pitch will be 40 inches, an increase of 2 inches, while recline will be 9 inches, also an increase of 2 inches. A 15.6-inch touchscreen monitor will be installed, along with USB-C power and Bluetooth connectivity.
Economy Class will feature the “R3” seat by RECARO Aircraft Seating. In addition to a six-way adjustable headrest and a monitor with integrated USB power, legroom has been increased by 1 inch and ergonomic support has been enhanced to improve comfort. The seat is also approximately 2 kilograms lighter, contributing to improved fuel efficiency. Seat pitch will be 33 to 34 inches, and recline will be increased by 2 inches. A 13.3-inch touchscreen monitor will be installed, replacing the controller. The seats will also offer USB-C power and Bluetooth connectivity.
