Hong Kong Airlines is showcasing the world’s
first all-business class A330-200 aircraft at an exclusive media
tour hosted concurrently in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing to
announce Hong Kong Airlines’ new routes and inflight services.
The latter features, as culinary
consultants, famous Hong Kong chef Chow Chung and Michelin-starred
British chef Jason Atherton.
The aircraft comprises
the airlines’ exclusive Club Premier and Club Classic seating.
The Club Premier
section offers only 34 seats in a 1-2-1 configuration with
flat-bed seats that are completely horizontal when fully reclined and
measure an overall length of 6 feet one inch.
The Club Classic
section offers 82 seats in a 2-2-2 configuration, where the seat
pitch (seat-to-seat distance) measures a generous 51” while the
seat cushion width is a comfortable 22”.
Mr Stanley Kan, Director of Hong Kong Airlines’
Service Delivery Department, said, “Both of the two cabin sections
have been engineered with the newest concepts for optimal
inflight comfort. The seats are so ergonomically-designed
and the configuration so thoughtfully devised that each and every
passenger will be able to enjoy maximum privacy - be it for WIFI
connectivity, inflight Skybar refreshment or individual inflight
entertainment, making long-haul flight boredom a thing of the
past.”
Business travellers are particularly concerned
about connectivity during long flights. Hong Kong Airlines offers
passengers the OnAir
inflight connectivity services for prompt and fast smartphone,
tablet and notebook computer and internet accessibility through
WIFI. Passengers can also buy, at any time on the internet,
value-added inflight WIFI services.
OnAir Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ian Dawkins,
said, “OnAir is the first provider to be able to offer
inflight internet access over China, meaning passengers can now
stay online in Chinese airspace. It also means we now provide 95%
service availability on the routes our customer airlines fly,
cementing OnAir's position as the global inflight connectivity
service provider.”
A VIP air travel experience isn’t complete
without exceptional inflight dining. Hong Kong Airlines has appointed local celebrity Chinese chef Chow Chung and
Michelin-starred British chef Jason Atherton as consultants. They
will be helping Hong Kong Airlines to design special menus for
discerning travellers.
