In June 2025, All Nippon Airways formally unveiled plans to start overhauling the cabins of its international Boeing 787-9s, which includes introducing new seats in all cabins. This doesn’t just include new business class suites, but also a new premium economy and economy cabin.
While we knew that these planes would debut in 2026, we didn’t have a more detailed timeline beyond that. Fortunately there’s now an update, so we have some more details. Let’s go over everything we know about ANA’s exciting new Dreamliners.
Designed in partnership with Safran and Acumen, the product is described as “the world’s largest seat in its class on a mid-sized aircraft.” ANA’s 787-9s are expected to have 48 business class seats, spread across 12 rows, in a 1-2-1 configuration. Seats will alternative between being forward facing and rear facing, with each seat having a privacy door.
