Avianca hopes to improve the overall efficiency of its carriers by transforming the 'A320s' into newly optimized Airbuses.
This change will involve increasing seating capacity by 20%, reducing C02 emissions by 13% per passenger, and changes to the available seating options.
Currently, the Avianca 'A320' Airbus has two seating options: business and economy. The remodeled 'A320s' will have three seating options: premium, plus, and economy. There will be four rows of premium seats, each located within the 'Airbus SpaceFlex' cabin. These seats will have wide seating space, device holders, and reclining capabilities.
The plus and economy seats are relatively similar. There will be ten rows of plus seats which will be in the main cabin and will also feature headrests and device charging slots. The largest change to these Airbuses that will impact the passengers directly is the removal of personal television screens. Current 'Airbus A320' models feature a personal screen for each passenger, but these have been cut from the newly optimized airbus.
