LATAM to transform the cabins of two thirds of its fleet with $400 million investment


  • The airline group will renovate the cabins of over 200 aircraft as part of its vision to offer a travel experience with more options, flexibility and personalization.

  • Passengers will be able to fly the first renovated aircraft operated by LATAM Airlines Peru before the end of 2018.

LATAM Airlines Group today unveiled its plan to transform the cabins and travel experience of two-thirds of its global fleet with a US$400 million investment. The company will revamp the interior of more than 200 aircraft over the next two years with passengers being able to fly the first renovated aircraft before the end of 2018.

“As part of LATAM’s long-term vision, the transformation of our cabins will enable us to offer an industry-leading onboard experience with more options, flexibility and personalization to better serve each and every passenger,” said Claudia Sender, Vice President Clients, LATAM Airlines Group. “This means being able to serve leisure passengers who want to ‘travel lighter for less’ at the same time as customers travelling for business who want privacy to both rest and work, in addition to those who wish to be able to upgrade the services that they value the most.”

LATAM will transform the cabins of aircraft that serve both long- and short-haul routes throughout its network. LATAM Airlines Peru will receive the first new-look aircraft before the end of the year, followed by LATAM Airlines Brasil at the start of 2019, providing passengers travelling via LATAM’s Lima and São Paulo hubs with the first opportunity to experience the new cabins.

A new travel experience

For passengers travelling on long-haul routes (to/from the United States or Europe for example), LATAM will transform the cabins of its Boeing 767 and Boeing 777 wide-body aircraft as well as apply the revamped design to new Boeing 787-9s and Airbus A350-1000s due for delivery over the coming years. The cabins will offer:

  • A new Premium Business seat and service that focuses on privacy and rest. Each Wide Thompson seat will have direct aisle access and offer seating options for both individuals and couples as well as a full-flat bed. It will also feature the latest generation in-flight entertainment with an 18” personal screen and have ample space for personal items.

  • On new aircraft, the economy cabin will feature ergonomically designed Recaro seats, offering greater comfort, fast-charging USB power ports, larger 12” individual seat-back screens and a state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system.

  • Passengers in economy will also have the option to upgrade to LATAM+ Seats, offering increased space, greater recline and premium services such as priority check-in and boarding.

For passengers travelling on domestic flights and routes within Latin America, LATAM will transform the cabin of over 150 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft to offer:

  • Wi-Fi connectivity and greater in-flight entertainment options.

  • Ergonomically designed Recaro seats, offering greater comfort and fast-charging USB power ports.

  • The opportunity to upgrade to LATAM+ Seats, offering greater space, dedicated overhead bins and premium services such as priority check-in and boarding.
