A key highlight of this announcement is the introduction of a Premium Business cabin with fully lie-flat seats, making LATAM the first airline in South America to offer this level of comfort on a single-aisle aircraft. The seats, designed by Thompson Aero Seating, feature the VantageSOLO configuration, offering direct aisle access, enhanced privacy with sliding doors, and a long-haul quality experience.
The aircraft will accommodate over 170 passengers across Premium Business, Economy Plus, and Economy cabins. In addition, passengers will enjoy onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, and individual seatback entertainment screens—features being introduced for the first time on LATAM’s narrow-body fleet. Cabin interiors were developed in partnership with PriestmanGoode, incorporating modern aesthetics inspired by South America.
