(Beijing, March 19th, 2010): Air China has announced plans to launch a Premium Economy class on selected domestic routes in the near future. Premium Economy class will be available on new Airbus A330-300s and will offer each passenger 10cm more width than Economy class and an individual entertainment system. Air China will be the first domestic airline to offer this service. Premium Economy will initially be available on domestic flights for business travelers such as the Beijing- Shanghai and Beijing- Guangzhou routes.
Over the coming years, Air China plans to purchase 23 Airbus A330-300 aircraft with Premium Economy seating. A330-300 aircraft have 311 seats, with 20 seats in the first three rows of the economy cabin reserved for Premium Economy passengers. The space between each row measures 92 centimeters, providing comfort comparable to first class seats found in normal, narrow-body aircraft.
Zhou Enyong, General Manager of Air China’s marketing department, said, “Air China’s Premium Economy class will be more convenient and more comfortable for passengers. Within the next few years, Air China hopes to improve and perfect the Premium Economy service to provide passengers with a unique and memorable flying experience.”
