"We are honored to be selected by China Airlines to upgrade its A350 fleet. The airline’s existing layout had already been one of the most luxurious in the industry and we are excited to support China Airlines to elevate this to yet another level," said Cristina Aguilar, Senior Vice President Customer Services. As of April 2024, China Airlines operates 15 A350-900s, 18 A330-300s and 12 A321neos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hamburg, 28 May 2024 – Airbus has reached an agreement with Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) to retrofit its fleet of 20 A320ceo aircraft with reclining business class seats, marking the Airbus’ first-ever cabin retrofit for a single-aisle fleet in the Asia-Pacific region. This initiative aligns with THAI's commitment to enhance passenger comfort and experience, following the integration of its former subsidiary, Thai Smile Airways, into the parent company beginning of this year. Under this agreement, Airbus Services will oversee the installation of 12 business class seats on each A320ceo. Featuring a backrest that reclines up to eight inches, these seats will offer passengers a relaxed sitting position. The retrofitting project is slated to commence by the end of the year. Upon completion, the A320s will transition to a two-class configuration, comprising 12 business class and 144 economy seats, delivering an enhanced travel experience across all cabin classes. This transformation marks a change from the previous all-economy class configuration, which accommodated between 168 to 174 passengers. As of April 2024, THAI operates a modern, yet diverse Airbus fleet consisting of 20 A320s, three A330-300s, and 20 A350-900s. Mr. Chai Eamsiri, THAI Chief Executive Officer, said, “The acquisition of 20 A320 aircraft from THAI Smile Airways has benefited THAI’s route network, as well as strengthened fleet efficiency and enhanced our competitiveness in the market. The fleet will serve THAI’s domestic and regional operations aiming to provide customers with seamless and convenient flight connectivity. In addition, the retrofit of reclining business seats in the aircraft will offer passengers with more comfort while their travel experiences will be elevated and enhanced throughout their flight journey.” Cristina Aguilar, Senior Vice President Customer Services added, "We are thrilled to embark on this cabin retrofit project with Thai Airways. This agreement underscores our commitment to enhancing passenger comfort and delivering exceptional travel experiences. We look forward to seeing these upgraded A320ceo aircraft take to the skies, offering passengers unparalleled comfort with the new reclining business class seats." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [新聞連結] https://aircraft.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/ 2024-05-china-airlines-selects-airbus-for-a350-cabin-retrofit https://aircraft.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/ 2024-05-airbus-secures-thai-a320-cabin-retrofit-deal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. 華航的部分先前已有公告. 不過這大概也間接揭露了華航要改裝各級客艙其廠牌/型號了. 新版商務艙應該不想跟在星宇的後面了(note: 不是刻意提星宇, 而是華航/星宇 A350 商務艙座椅系出同門) 2. 若以後華航/長榮/星宇 各家採用不同的客艙產品,這樣對消費者來說,也是很好. 希望可逐漸發展出不同的風格供旅客比較選擇. 再來看長榮77W 改裝案是否有更多訊息揭露. 3, 華航今日也公告了744F*2 售予韓亞航空 4. 泰航是指20架A320ceo 部分. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.228.158.145 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Aviation/M.1716976166.A.98A.html ※ 編輯: nyrnu (36.228.158.145 臺灣), 05/29/2024 17:53:24 推 Chricey: 瑪卡功效 05/29 19:41推 Kroner: 葉黃素功效 05/29 19:56推 Kroner: 頻尿 05/29 20:35推 Chricey: 瑪卡功效 05/29 20:43推 Chricey: 葉黃素功效 05/29 21:19推 Chricey: 魚油推薦 05/30 01:27 等下周旅客搭菲航搭到 A333 飛 MNL-ICN-LAX, 這就是青出於藍,運用到一個極致. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/pr112 ※ 編輯: nyrnu (36.228.158.145 臺灣), 05/29/2024 20:53:29 長榮也揭露了下一代娛樂系統之選用, A321也終於要學習華航在舊機裝無線娛樂系統了. ※ 編輯: nyrnu (101.12.29.83 臺灣), 05/31/2024 22:40:54
