<h1>Airline Begins $400M Retrofit of Boeing 787s to Three-Class Layout, Upgrading Fleet by Mid-2027</h1> An airline has commenced retrofitting its legacy Boeing 787-8 aircraft to a three-class configuration, with the first retrofitted plane expected to rejoin the fleet by year-end following certification. The retrofit program aims to upgrade all legacy Dreamliners by mid-2027, with two planes sent monthly for modification after the initial aircraft. The retrofit includes changes to seating arrangements, increasing premium cabins while reducing economy seats. The airline is also conducting a heavy refresh of legacy Boeing 777s and retrofitting legacy A320neos and A321ceos, with narrow-body fleet upgrades targeted for completion by year-end. This comprehensive retrofit initiative, valued at approximately USD 400 million, covers both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft to modernize the fleet and improve passenger experience.
