JetBlue takes a delay on A321neo deliveries, A320 retrofits

23 July 2019 By Seth Miller 1 Comment

The JetBlue A320 retrofit program is delayed. Again. But it is still expected to complete on time (a couple years later than initially planned), at the end of 2020. Blame Airbus this time around.

Tiny lav market gets more crowded

19 November 2018 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

The new Diehl Aerospace SKYPAX aft galley lav combo is cramped, as expected, but offers a couple improvements over the competing Space-Flex v2 solution

Passengers and cabin crew hate them. Airline accountants love them. And this month the market for new, compact aft galley/lav combos became a bit more crowded. The Diehl Aviation SKYPAX offering will soon take to the sky. Delivery of the first shipset (for an unnamed Latin American carrier) took place recently for customer airline installation..

Another tiny lavatory preps for flight on American Airlines

28 September 2018 By Seth Miller 1 Comment

One of many smaller lavatories on the market and available to airlines. The US DoT is proposing some small changes to regulations around these lavs, but they come up far short of mandating an equivalent travel experience for passengers with reduced mobility.

Sick and tired of tiny airplane toilets? The news out of Aircraft Interiors Expo this week in Boston (collocated with APEX EXPO) probably won’t improve that feeling. Diehl Aerospace showed off its 31″ lavatory for the A320 family of aircraft, soon to be retrofit on American Airlines airplanes.

When even the boss doesn’t like cabin densification

26 March 2018 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

The old LiveTV2 screens are (finally!) leaving JetBlue's A320 fleet starting later this year, though the replacement will be a mixed bag of LiveTV4 and AVANT from Thales

Does management hate the new JetBlue galley/lav setup as much as passengers? It sure sounds like it from the CEO, though that didn’t stop the company from doing it anyways, so…

JetBlue’s A320 retrofit finally underway

24 January 2018 By Seth Miller 10 Comments

The JetBlue implementation of LiveTV4 includes larger, brighter screens, but still not the Android-based underlying OS that makes AVANT so flexible and responsive.

More than two years after initially announced the JetBlue A320 retrofit program is finally underway. The first aircraft is now in the shop and will exit with at least one previously undisclosed surprise on board.

Space-Flex Blues: JetBlue sees further delays in A320 retrofit program

25 October 2017 By Seth Miller 5 Comments

The Space Flex v2 lav is a tight squeeze but frees up space for the 12 extra seats on board

JetBlue’s A320s are now well overdue on a cabin refresh, and the program is showing further delays. Supplier issues are, again, at the core of the schedule push but this time around a new vendor is on the hook.
