ANA and HAECO Sign Landing Gear Overhaul Agreement
Alaska Airlines will introduce its new first class and business class seat, the “Aurora Suite,” along with Premium Reserve seats.
Its Boeing 787 aircraft will feature 34 seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, with privacy doors and direct aisle access. The proportion of premium seats will increase from the current 38% to approximately 46%.
Its Boeing 737-10 aircraft will feature 12 seats in a 1-1 configuration. They will be introduced in 2028 and deployed on select transcontinental routes. The aircraft will feature the same Aurora livery as the Boeing 787-9.
Both will use premium materials, including soft and highly breathable Ultrafabrics leather, and will be equipped with 19-inch 4K monitors, Bluetooth connectivity, wireless charging, USB-C charging, and AC power outlets. Curated chef programs and on-demand dining will also be offered.
In addition, 35 Premium Reserve seats will be installed on Boeing 787-9 aircraft and 12 on Boeing 737-10 aircraft. With a 38-inch seat pitch, the seats will offer increased recline, leg rests and calf rests, 16-inch 4K OLED monitors, AC power outlets, and USB-C charging. They will be introduced from 2028, with sales to begin in summer 2027.
At its Seattle hub, Alaska Airlines will offer dedicated check-in counters, concierge services, and a new Aurora Lounge.
This will create a four-cabin configuration: Aurora Suite, Premium Reserve, Premium Class, and Main Cabin.
