Summary

Boeing and Airbus are facing delays in delivering new aircraft to airlines due to supply chain issues and certification of new first- and business-class seat models. Airlines are rushing to offer more luxurious seats to attract high-paying customers, causing delays in the delivery of new airplanes. Airlines are working to install state-of-the-art seats in the front of the cabin, which can generate millions in revenue.
