JetBlue has unveiled the second phase of its redesigned Airbus A320 cabin.
The airline says the revamped interior features he widest seats available on A320 aircraft as well as enhancements to seatback entertainment screens.
The phase one rollout came last year. Both remodeled cabins have 162 seats, up from 150. To fit more seats, the space between rows has been reduced from 34 to 32 inches. The cabins feature high-definition television and seats equipped with power outlets and USB ports.
JetBlue will configure roughly 20 of its 130 A320s in the phase one style, with the remainder getting the phase two interior, spokesman Philip Stewart said.
The phase two interior features a number of enhancements that go beyond the phase one aircraft. The new seats, manufactured by avionics company Collins Aerospace, measure an expanded 18-plus inches in width. They also have JetBlue’s first adjustable headrests and a 10.1-inch high-definition screen featuring more than 100 television channels as well as an expanded collection of movies and video games. Other features of the system include the ability to pause live TV and a picture-in-picture option.
In another enhancement, the phase two restyled interiors are equipped with ViaSat-2 WiFi, which functions over oceans, allowing JetBlue to expand WiFi to nearly its entire route network.
The carrier expects to have approximately a third of its A320 fleet reconfigured by the end of the year.
