The Great Airline Catch Up: American Airlines' Premium Push American Airlines is revamping its image by investing in premium amenities, reversing years of playing catch up with Delta and United.
The carrier has decided to install seatback screens at every seat, boosting premium seating options. This move acknowledges past mistakes and attempts to recapture lost ground.
The reintroduction of seatback screens is particularly significant, given AA's 2017 decision to remove them in a bid to reduce aircraft weight.
