Virgin Atlantic is to convert more than half its fleet to a premium-led seating configuration, reducing the size of economy cabins.
Virgin Atlantic will include more Upper Class seats on many of its aircraft
The carrier will reconfigure 24 of its 45 aircraft used on routes where premium demand is heaviest. Its Boeing 787-9s will see the economy cabin reduce from 192 seats to 127, while Premium will rise from 35 to 56 and Upper Class from 31 to 44.
The aircraft will also carry Virgin’s larger Retreat Suites for the first time, with eight of these included in Upper Class. The work will be carried out from 2028 to 2030.
