Cathay Pacific: "no upgrade to new business seats in Boeing 747 or Airbus
A340"

UPDATE | Cathay Pacific has now revealed the first details of its new Premium
Economy class as well as a replacement for the airline's much-criticised
international economy seat, both of which will debut in March 2012 on flights
between Hong Kong and Sydney – see our full report for details.

And while the premium economy seats will appear on CX's Boeing 747s and
Airbus A340s, those planes will keep the current fixed-shell economy seat
along with the cubicle-style business class bunks, as detailed below.

PREVIOUS | Cathay Pacific's impressive new business-class seats won't be
installed into the Hong Kong flag-carrier's current Boeing 747-400 or Airbus
A340 fleet.

The rollout of the new seats and cabin is underway on factory-fresh Airbus
A330-300 and Boeing 777-300ER – due to enter service in March and April,
respectively – before the airline begins an extensive refit of existing
A330s and 777s.

But the 747s and A340s, which together represent one-third of Cathay's total
fleet and over three-quarters of the dedicated three-class long-haul CX
fleet, will retain the existing and often-criticised 'business-class
'cubicle' seating.

"The new business class seats will not be installed in either the CX 747s or
the 340s" a Cathay Pacific spokesperson confirmed to Australian Business
Traveller today. "The new seats are only going into the longhaul A330s and
777-300ERs."

The 747s and A340s "will be gradually phased out over some years", according
to Cathay Pacific, with the 777-300ER and A330-300s taking their place.

However, Cathay Pacific is keeping mum on rumours that the new A330-300 and
777-300ER may include a premium economy section – which would be a first for
the airline – along with a new design for the fixed-shell economy seats.

Cathay Pacific is one of the world's largest customers for both aircraft,
with 31 A330s currently in service (plus three more on order) and 14
777-300ERs (with 18 more on order).

Cathay Pacific business class seats here, and browse our photo gallery here.
