New Economy Cabin Design by LATAM Boosts Onboard Experience with Personalized Entertainment and Sustainable Materials

The LATAM Group has recently unveiled a new Economy cabin design for its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, investing $15 million to enhance the onboard experience for passengers. One of the key upgrades includes a new onboard entertainment system that allows Economy class passengers to connect their personal headphones via Bluetooth and enjoy a wide variety of content on 12-inch high-definition touchscreens. This includes over 170 movies, 550 TV show episodes, 100 music albums, and exclusive content from popular platforms like HBO Max, Paramount+, and Disney+.

Another major enhancement is the introduction of an interactive 3D map called Panasonic’s Arc™, providing passengers with detailed information about landmarks and streets from the air, allowing them to explore iconic places in different cities during their flight. The LATAM group plans to introduce this new cabin design on four aircraft this year, totaling an investment of $60 million.

The redesigned cabin also features seat upholstery made with 57% recycled leather, reducing carbon emissions by up to 60% and saving water and land use by up to 55%. This sustainable material production is another step towards eco-friendliness as all narrow-body aircraft in the LATAM group fleet already include this eco-friendly material. Additionally, the cabin offers headrests, a six-inch recline, and a renewed onboard entertainment system with twelve-inch screens.

Economy passengers also have the option to travel even more comfortably in LATAM+ seats which provide extra legroom, more recline, exclusive luggage space and priority boarding and disembarkation. These enhancements reflect the unique spirit and pride of South America while further improving the overall flying experience for LATAM passengers.
