Cathay puts new seats into service

Hong Kong has seen the arrival of Cathay Pacific’s first Boeing 777-300ER featuring its new Premium Economy Class product and long haul Economy Class seats.

Speaking at the delivery ceremony at the Boeing factory in Seattle, Cathay Pacific Chief Operating Officer Ivan Chu said: “This is an important development for Cathay Pacific – another big step in our commitment to provide outstanding products and services to our passengers.  We’re confident that both these new products will be winners, especially when combined with the famous Cathay Pacific service.”

The new Premium Economy experience features a quieter, more spacious cabin than the traditional Economy Class with between 26 and 34 seats per aircraft.  The seat pitch is 38 inches – six inches more than Economy Class – and the seat itself is wider and has a bigger recline.  It has a large meal table, cocktail table, footrest, a 10.6-inch personal television, an in-seat power outlet, a multi-port connector for personal devices and extra personal stowage space.  There is an enhanced catering service too. www.cathaypacific.com
