Alaska Airlines Will Be The 1st To Put A Real Lie-Flat Bed On The Boeing 737 MAX 10
The aircraft will feature 12 Aurora seats.
Alaska Airlines plans to introduce a true lie-flat business-class product on the Boeing 737 MAX 10, becoming the first airline to do so. The operator intends to equip 12 Aurora Suites across at least 25 MAX 10 aircraft.
The initiative is part of Alaska Air Group’s broader cabin overhaul, which will expand the number of cabins beyond the traditional premium offerings. The regrouping includes a four-cabin structure that spans lie-flat suites, premium economy, Premium Class, and Main Cabin.
The announced project targets the MAX 10 platform, with initial feasibility and deployment set to begin in 2028. No specific routes, launch dates, or aircraft delivery details were provided in the material.
Alongside the MAX 10 initiative, Alaska Air Group will introduce a new Premium Reserve cabin on both Alaska and Hawaiian aircraft as part of the same cabin modernization effort. The material does not specify further operational or financial details related to the rollout.
