國泰航空:新商務艙將不會裝設在744/A340 1. 744/A343 將逐步淘汰,所以新商務艙不會再裝設在這兩款機型上, 而改以新的豪華經濟艙加設 2. 新商務艙只會在773ER and A333 上出現 3. 至於新的豪華經濟艙是否會在未來裝設在777-300ER 及 A333-->國泰保持沉默 4. CX 現有 A330-300 *31 in operation (3 more on order) 777-300ER *14 in operation (18 more on order) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` http://tinyurl.com/863k8gl 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 UPDATE | Cathay Pacific has now revealed the first details of its new Premium Economy class as well as a replacement for the airline's much-criticised international economy seat, both of which will debut in March 2012 on flights between Hong Kong and Sydney – see our full report for details. And while the premium economy seats will appear on CX's Boeing 747s and Airbus A340s, those planes will keep the current fixed-shell economy seat along with the cubicle-style business class bunks, as detailed below. PREVIOUS | 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).
