LATAM Airlines has revealed the new Business Class cabin for its upcoming Airbus A321XLR fleet, featuring fully lie-flat Thompson Aero VantageSOLO seats in a 1-1 configuration with direct aisle access and privacy doors for all passengers. Deliveries begin in 2027, positioning LATAM as the first South American carrier to offer this premium standard on narrowbody aircraft.
The A321XLRs, with a range exceeding 8,700 km, will enable efficient long-haul operations on transoceanic routes currently served by larger widebodies, optimizing capacity for lower-demand markets.
Aircraft will seat over 170 passengers across Premium Business, Economy Plus, and Economy cabins. Business class likely includes around 12 seats in a herringbone layout, while Economy uses Recaro R3 seats in 3-3 abreast.
New amenities encompass individual 18-inch Panasonic seatback screens fleetwide for the first time on LATAM narrowbodies, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, and South America-inspired cabin design by PriestmanGoode.
This rollout supports LATAM’s strategy to expand into new markets with fuel-efficient single-aisle jets boasting over 50% more range than standard A320neo family members, enhancing operational flexibility and premium revenue potential.
