The changes will augment premium and first-class seating in its mainline fleet, with the expansion increasing annual premium seats by 1.3 million. Alaska Airlines said the updates respond to what they call a structural shift toward higher demand for premium products.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Alaska Airlines is planning to begin rolling out seating arrangement changes in more than 200 of its aircraft this September.
And premium seating in 79 of the Boeing 737-900ER planes and 80 of the Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft will increase from 24 to 30 seats apiece, also the equivalent of another row. In their most recent quarterly report, which came out this month, Alaska Air Group recorded year-over-year revenue increases of 8% for first-class and 6% for premium seating, while overall passenger revenue went up by 2%.
Seat pitch refers to the distance between a particular position on a seat and the same position on the seat in front of it — for instance, from the front of one head rest to the front of the head rest on the seat in the foregoing row.
