LATAM Airlines Group (LATAM) has entered into a contract with Recaro Aircraft Seating to supply seating for its Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 cabin retrofits, taking place in 2027. LATAM has ordered 41 shipsets of Recaro’s PL3530 long-range premium-economy-class seat, with the first shipset delivery scheduled for the first half of 2027.
The seats will be installed at a 40-inch pitch, and fitted with features including privacy wings, an 8-inch recline mechanism, and Panasonic Astrova seatback in-flight entertainment systems. The seatback IFE will include 16-inch 4K screens, Bluetooth audio pairing, USB-C fast charging, and AC power outlets.
LATAM’s design partner for the project is the PriestmanGoode studio, with branding work by NewTerritory, and cabin branding elements from ABC International.
