  • EgyptAirPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 17, 2026

    Official fleet index establishes EgyptAir's 737-800 fleet and its standard 2-2 Business / 3-3 Economy cabin pattern.

    The live endpoint was Cloudflare-blocked. The snapshot is the latest usable raw-bytes Wayback capture (14 February 2026). It still lists only the 144- and 154-seat layouts, so it is used for aircraft/cabin-pattern context, not the refurbished 160-seat count.

    Official EgyptAir news page describes a Collins project to replace the Business- and Economy-class seats on EgyptAir 737-800 aircraft.

    The Arabic-language page confirms the refurbishment project and supplier discussion, but does not publish a target seat count, row map, hardware model or completion state.

    Article describes a cabin-refurbishment programme covering 19 EgyptAir 737-800s, begun in mid-2025 and due to finish by the end of 2026.

    Used only for transition context. The article's current-fleet table still lists only 144- and 154-seat layouts and does not state the refurbished target count.

How this map was built

ACTIVE-SERVICE GATE PASSED: Planespotters records SU-GCZ reconfigured from C24Y120 to C16Y144 in October 2025 and returned to service on 28 October 2025; its current EgyptAir 737-800 photo listing shows the aircraft at Munich on 25 May 2026. EgyptAir's own Training Academy separately confirms a project with Collins to replace both Business and Economy seats on the 737-800 fleet. This current 16 Business / 144 Economy = 160 layout is distinct from the two older configurations on EgyptAir's fleet page. No permitted source located publishes an exact row map, dimensions, hardware model or per-seat amenities for the refurbished aircraft. The row grid is therefore DERIVED: four full four-seat Business rows (4 x 4 = 16) followed by twenty-four full six-seat Economy rows (24 x 6 = 144). The 2-2/3-3 abreast pattern is inferred from the published EgyptAir 737-800 cabin patterns and the C16Y144 counts; all row numbers, seat letters and the cabin boundary are modeling inferences. Row 13 is omitted solely as a corpus numbering convention. Monuments, exits, wing limits, bassinets, paid-seat zones and seat-level advantages/drawbacks are intentionally not asserted. An exact 737-800 engineering grid exists and is bound as aircraft.windowGridType; its projected structural blank is medium-confidence for EgyptAir and therefore is not written, so window seats remain unknown.

What changed

  1. Jul 17, 2026Initial EgyptAir refurbished 737-800 16J/144Y configuration; current flying tail verified and row grid explicitly derived from neutral per-airframe counts.
