Width needed for economy seats
How much width is needed for an Economy seat?

On MD-11 http://www.boeing.com/commercial/air...s/md11sec2.pdf page 16, 16,5 inches are offered for each seatback and each aisle. 10 abreast MD-11s do fly around longhaul on a legacy carrier, namely Finnair.

Does anyone know how the 8 abreast B767-s and 9 abreast A330-s compare?

As for A330, see:
http://www.content.airbusworld.com/S...LT/AC_A330.pdf
page 30.

Aisles 16,5 inches like MD-11. Airbus, unlike MD, does not disclose seat width, but MD offers 57,5 inches for a three-seat block and Airbus only offers 57,1 inches for 3-seat block. So, a 9 abreast A-330 is more cramped than 10 abreast MD-11.

How about 8-abreast B-767?
