The new Dreamliners, replacing older 787-9s on the route, increase total seats to 303, with economy seats up from 262 to 271 and business up from 26 to 32. All have in-seat charging, new entertainment systems, and access to high-speed onboard wi-fi.
In a note to staff, the airline’s domestic chief executive, Markus Svensson, said the midlife aircraft would provide “bridging capacity” and receive new interiors to make they appear as-new to customers.
