American Airlines has continued to phase out seatback entertainment screens on its domestic fleet, a move that sets it apart from other major US carriers. The airline recently removed seatback screens from its Airbus A319 aircraft as part of a retrofit program. These planes were the last short-to-medium haul jets in American's fleet to have the systems.
While competitors have focused on providing inflight entertainment for all mainline aircraft, American Airlines has chosen a different approach, emphasizing cost reduction and alternative entertainment options.
The company’s decision reflects an ongoing trend within its domestic services, with a notable decrease in seatback screens across much of its fleet.
