Hong Kong Airlines has marked the next evolution of its premium experience, with the unveiling of a newly upgraded Business Class seat on its latest Airbus A350 aircraft.

Modern, stylish and personal are the three words that perfectly epitomise the new seat, which was designed in-house using Rockwell Collins’ “Super Diamond” product. Voted by travellers as one of the top Business Class seats in the world, it promises to provide unparalleled comfort and privacy on even the longest flights. It also maximises space and delivers all the entertainment, dining and relaxation options that travellers expect from an excellent Business Class experience.

Each seat also comes with a set of specially designed smooth and soft bedding while the modern and neutral tones in the refreshed cabin offer a comfortable environment for travellers to work and relax in.

All of Hong Kong Airlines’ 33 new Business Class seats on the A350 are ideally arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, which guarantees passengers direct access to the aisle and maximum privacy to work, rest and unwind. With a simple touch of the seat control panel, the seat can be easily reclined into different positions or converted into a comfortable 78-inch full-flat bed, ensuring travellers get ultimate rest during the flight.

For passengers who like a little entertainment onboard, Hong Kong Airlines has partnered with Thales Group to install a brand-new IFE system into the A350 aircraft. With a 17-inch widescreen monitor as well as a touch-enabled integrated handset, the new AVANT system promises passengers an enhanced entertainment experience inflight.

“Our latest Business Class offering and state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system is the result of an ambitious effort to revamp our premium services for our customers,” says Wang Liya, Hong Kong Airlines vice chairman and president. These are significant investments for the Company, and will help lead Hong Kong Airlines into a new decade of success.”
