國泰航空: 747及A340機隊將不會裝設新商務艙 http://tinyurl.com/6zojlog Cathay Pacific: "no upgrade to new business seats in Boeing 747 or Airbus A340" By David Flynn Filed under: cathay pacific, Boeing, business class, CX, Hong Kong, seating, Premium Economy, Airbus, Boeing 747, Boeing 777, Boeing 777-300ER, economy, Cathay, seats, 747, Airbus A330, Airbus A340, jumbo, Boeing 747-400 published 17 Jan, 2011 CX's new business class seats won't make their way onto the 747 or A340 Cathay Pacific's impressive new business-class seats won't be installed into the Hong Kong flag-carrier's current Boeing 747-400 or Airbus A340 fleet. The rollout of the new seats and cabin is underway on factory-fresh Airbus A330-300 and Boeing 777-300ER – due to enter service in March and April, respectively – before the airline begins an extensive refit of existing A330s and 777s. But the 747s and A340s, which together represent one-third of Cathay's total fleet and over three-quarters of the dedicated three-class long-haul CX fleet, will retain the existing and often-criticised 'business-class 'cubicle' seating. "The new business class seats will not be installed in either the CX 747s or the 340s" a Cathay Pacific spokesperson confirmed to Australian Business Traveller today. "The new seats are only going into the longhaul A330s and 777-300ERs." The 747s and A340s "will be gradually phased out over some years", according to Cathay Pacific, with the 777-300ER and A330-300s taking their place. However, Cathay Pacific is keeping mum on rumours that the new A330-300 and 777-300ER may include a premium economy section – which would be a first for the airline – along with a new design for the fixed-shell economy seats. Cathay Pacific is one of the world's largest customers for both aircraft, with 31 A330s currently in service (plus three more on order) and 14 777-300ERs (with 18 more on order).
