Mainline fleet table: Boeing 787-8 at 234 seats (a single figure, not a range) across 37 aircraft (20 owned + 17 leased); 2025 premium reconfiguration is described for the 787-9/A321XLR (Flagship Suite) and 777, not the 787-8.

American Airlines fleet table: Boeing 787-8 as a single row (no rowspan config split) — 20 Flagship Business / 28 Premium Economy / 48 Main Cabin Extra / 138 Main Cabin = 234 seats across 37 airframes, "Largest operator."

Single standard three-cabin configuration of American's Boeing 787-8 (Flagship Business — the legacy reverse-herringbone lie-flat, NOT the new enclosed Flagship Suite, which American markets on its 787-9/A321XLR). SEAT TOTAL IS SOURCED AS A SINGLE FIGURE, NOT A RANGE: the AAG FY2025 10-K (PRIMARY, mainline fleet table) lists the 787-8 at 234 seats across 37 airframes (20 owned + 17 leased), a single seat count (contrast the 787-9 line, which shows a blended 271 across two subfleets). PER-CABIN COUNTS ARE SOURCED (NEUTRAL): the Wikipedia American Airlines fleet table lists this 787-8 as a single row (no rowspan config split) — 20 Flagship Business (J) / 28 Premium Economy (W) / 48 Main Cabin Extra (Y+) / 138 Main Cabin (Y) = 234, 37 aircraft, "Largest operator." THE ROW GRID IS DERIVED, NOT A PLACARD SCAN: aa.com hard-403s (bot-blocked) and competitor seat-map sites are prohibited. Abreast layouts (Flagship Business 1-2-1 reverse herringbone, Premium Economy 2-3-2, Main Cabin 3-3-3) plus the sourced per-cabin counts drive the grid. Derivations: Flagship Business rows 1-5 (5 full 1-2-1 rows = 20); Premium Economy rows 8-11 (4 full 2-3-2 rows = 28); Main Cabin rows 20-41 (3-3-3). Neither Main Cabin figure is a multiple of 9 (48 mod 9 = 3, 138 mod 9 = 3), so reduced rows are REQUIRED to reconcile the sourced counts: a single mid-cabin galley/lavatory complex at Door 3 cedes the center block (D/E/F) of rows 24-27, making them 6-seat rows. Main Cabin Extra (48) is modeled as a zone = four full rows (20-23, bulkhead at 20) + the two forward galley rows (24-25, 6 seats each) = 36 + 12 = 48. Standard Main Cabin (138) = the two aft galley rows (26-27, 6 seats each) + fourteen full rows (28-41) = 12 + 126 = 138. Row numbers, the Door-1/2/3/4 placement, the over-wing band (rows 20-30), the galley/lavatory and bassinet positions, the reduced center-galley rows (24-27) and the reduced-recline last row (41) are INFERRED to reproduce the published per-cabin totals and abreast layouts and may not match any individual airframe. AA sells Main Cabin Extra as scattered front/exit rows on the real aircraft; the derived grid consolidates the sourced count of 48 MCE seats into rows 20-25. ALL SEAT DIMENSIONS (pitch/width/bed length) are unsourced estimates (unsourced:true) — American does not publish them on an accessible primary page; screen sizes are omitted for the same reason (the legacy 787-8 has Panasonic seatback IFE in all cabins, sizes unpublished in the cited sources). No 787-9P-style premium retrofit of the 787-8 is in passenger service in the cited sources, so this is modeled as the sole active 787-8 config with no supersededBy/replaces link.
