KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is introducing new World Business Class seats onboard its entire Boeing 777-300 and 200 fleet. The broader seats have a sliding door designed to ensure greater comfort and privacy.
Designed on the basis of extensive customer research, features include:
- All World Business Class passengers have direct access to the aisle. Every seat has a lightweight sliding door that can be easily opened and closed, so that the seat can be closed off for more privacy when working, relaxing and/or sleeping.
- More personal adjustment options and user-friendly functionality, including an adjustable lower-back support and a relax setting with a subtle back-massage feature.
- The seat can recline fully flat to form a comfortable, 198cm-long bed.
- There are multiple charging sockets that are easily accessible and clearly visible, and passengers also have a wireless charging option.
- Passengers can stow their belongings in a lockable compartment, which also has a built-in mirror. The seat features a recessed bottle holder, so that passengers can safely leave a water bottle on their tabletop, even during turbulence.
“Based on extensive customer and competitor research, we improved our World Business Class seats to ensure that customers have more privacy and comfort during their flight,” said Boet Kreiken, EVP Customer Experience, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. “The new seats are better in terms of design, technology and sustainability features. KLM meets a wide array of its passengers’ wishes with the new seats in World Business Class, Premium Comfort, Economy Comfort and Economy Class. We are delighted to offer these new products and related services to our customers worldwide.”
KLM’s entire Boeing 777-300 and 200 fleet will be fitted with the new World Business Class seats. This fleet will also be fitted with the latest Premium Comfort cabin. The full revamp will be completed during the course of the coming year.
