American Airlines is dropping its first class cabins and replacing them with more business class seats.
The move was disclosed in a conference call with investors Thursday by Vasu Raja, the company’s chief commercial officer, who said the change is in response to customer demand.
“The first class will not exist … at American Airlines for the simple reason that our customers aren’t buying it,” he said in response to a question. “The quality of the business class seat has improved so much. And frankly, by removing [first class] we can go provide more business class seats, which is what our customers most want or are most willing to pay for.” – This is a developing story.
