Nose To Tail: American Airlines To Reportedly Replace Windows On Older Boeing 787 Dreamliners

American Airlines is planning to replace windows on older Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft as part of an ongoing effort to enhance passenger comfort and operational efficiency. The decision follows reports regarding passenger frustration with the speed at which the planes’ electrochromatic windows adjust between light and darkness levels. It has been noted that changes in window tinting can take up to a minute to fully complete. This proactive measure aims to address concerns raised by passengers who have experienced delays when attempting to darken their windows using the automated system. American Airlines intends to prioritize this retrofit work across its fleet, focusing initially on the most frequently utilized 787-8 and 787-9 models currently in service.
