American Airlines will begin operations of its Boeing 787-9 aircraft that features the new business class “Flagship Suite.”
The “Flagship Suite” offers 51 seats at the front of the aircraft, equipped with privacy doors, storage spaces with wireless charging capabilities, and adjustable headrest pillows. The in-flight meals are course meals and come with a premium amenity kit including luxury skincare products.
The suites will be installed on newly received Boeing 787-9 aircraft, Airbus A321XLR aircraft, and refurbished Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
The first flight is on June 5, departing from Chicago O’Hare to Los Angeles as flight AA2012, with the first international flight being flight AA98 from Chicago O’Hare to London Heathrow on the same day.
Following this, the suite will be deployed on the Philadelphia to London Heathrow route starting August 6, the Philadelphia to Zurich route starting September 3, and the Dallas/Fort Worth to Brisbane route starting October 26.
American Airlines received two Boeing 787-9 aircraft this week and plans to introduce a total of 30 aircraft by 2029.
