American Airlines’ Airbus A330s that were (prematurely, in my opinion) retired at the start of the coronavirus pandemic will be returning to the skies… but for a different airline!
The planes are expected to be delivered to the airline between June 2026 and March 2027. They’re still quite new, as they’re only 12-13 years old, and they’ve spent roughly half of that time in storage.
These are all planes that were initially delivered to US Airways, and they have 247 seats, including 20 business class seats, 21 premium economy seats, and 206 economy seats. The business class seats are in a reverse herringbone configuration.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
