American Airlines adjusting small bathrooms on some planes
American Airlines is taking action to improve the lavatories on the new Boeing 737 MAX planes the carrier began taking delivery of last year. When AA’s new 737 MAXs went into service, the lavs quickly became a focus of attention among both passengers and cabin crew for, among other things, being exceedingly small. In an internal memo late month from Jill Surdek, AA VP of flight service, it was also noted that the unbending "slab doors" installed on the 2 lavs in the main cabin of the MAX opened into the aisle and could bang into each other. In addition, passengers were going into the galley area to try and manoeuvre around the slab doors. The carrier has begun replacing 1 slab door on 1 main cabin lavatory with a new bi-fold door that Boeing has made available since American rolled out its first MAX aircraft last year. <br/>
