Philippine Airlines (PAL) has unveiled its new business class cabin products.
The national carrier has taken delivery of its first new Airbus A330-300 aircraft to be equipped with two classes, including the brand new business class cabin which includes flat-bed seats and a wireless in-flight entertainment system. This follows the introduction of its new economy class seats last year.
“The advent of the bi-class A330… completes our menu of new product offerings,” said PAL’s president Ramon Ang. “This sophisticated aircraft is aimed at the discriminating business segment of the market, an important part of PAL’s customer base.”
The new two-class A330 can seat 368 passengers, including 18 in the new business class cabin. The new Sogerma Equinox 3D seat stretches out to form a fully-flat bed which is more than six-feet (183cm) long and nearly two feet wide. The seats also include an electronic leg rests, retractable dividers, in-seat power outlets, USB ports, reading lights and storage space.
The new wireless in-flight entertainment system allows passengers to stream movies, TV programmes, music and apps to their own personal electronic devices. The A330s will also come equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi.
“Once again, PAL is pioneering the way entertainment is experienced at 30,000 feet,” said Ang. “Through wireless technology, we are able to enhance and personalise our IFE offerings, and deliver these straight to the passenger’s own gadget.”
The new two-class A330s will initially be deployed on services to Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Nagoya and Seoul.
