Travelers boarding American Airlines’ new fleet of Boeing 737MAX aircraft later this year might notice something missing: The seat-back entertainment screen.
The airline announced the change, which comes as more and more passengers are traveling with their own personal devices, in a statement sent to employees Tuesday.
“More than 90 percent of our passengers already bring a device or screen with them when they fly,” airline representatives wrote in the statement. “Those phones and tablets are continually upgraded, they’re easy to use, and most importantly, they are the technology that our customers have chosen.”
