Delays in Delivering Airplanes Due to Luxurious Cabins
The delay in delivering new airplanes to customers is due to the complexity of installing luxurious first- and business-class cabins with features like heated seats, ultra-high-definition TV screens, and privacy doors, which require regulator approval. Both Boeing and Airbus are experiencing delays in installing these cabins, affecting their revenue streams. Airlines are rushing to offer more comfort and space to high-paying customers, leading to delays in seat certification and cabin layout approval.
