Air France has inaugurated a new travel cabin on its Embraer 190 aircraft. Onboard, Business and Economy customers experience new, lighter and more comfortable seats, a free high-speed WiFi connection and a bright, elegant cabin.
By summer 2026, all Air France’s Embraer 190s will be refitted. In this way, the airline is continuing to move upmarket and standardise its product and services on its short and medium-haul network.
The Air France Embraer 190 now has 110 new seats in a 2-2 configuration. Each seat is upholstered in leather and has ergonomic seat foam for greater comfort and durability. Reclining by up to three inches, the seat is 46cm wide and features a tray table, optimised storage space, comfortable fold-up armrests and a coat hook. The headrest is height and side adjustable.
At eye level, all travellers have a retractable stand for their portable device with a ribbed surface to position their smartphone or tablet securely. USB A and C ports are available for recharging devices, including laptops. A double cup holder has also been integrated for added practicality.
Onboard, Business customers can sit in the front rows of the aircraft. For added comfort and privacy, a mobile curtain isolates this cabin. From October 2025, each Business customer will have an empty seat next to them.
During their flight, all customers will have access to ultra-high-speed WiFi. This new and exclusive service on the aircraft is completely free of charge for travellers connecting to their Flying Blue account, the Air France-KLM Group’s loyalty programme. Air France is gradually equipping all of its aircraft with this cutting-edge technology, including its regional fleet.
