LATAM previews lie-flat cabin for 2027 Airbus A321XLR rollout on premium long-haul narrowbody

LATAM Airlines Group says its first Airbus A321XLR deliveries begin in 2027, with a Premium Business cabin built around fully lie-flat seats—marketed as South America’s first narrowbody business-class suites. The jets will be used on longer routes, likely including U.S. flying, with the carrier positioning the A321XLR to cannibalize some transoceanic widebody missions.
