New Airbus Cabins to be “More Relaxing, Inspiring, Beautiful and Functional”

Airbus has launched “Airspace by Airbus”, a new cabin brand.

Airbus will launch the new cabin with the forthcoming A330neo airliner which is inspired by the cabin of its widebody sibling, the new A350 XWB.

Encompassing four key dimensions: Comfort, Ambience, Service and Design, Airbus says that Airspace cabins will be “more relaxing, inspiring, beautiful and functional, they will stimulate a unique and leading passenger experience”.

The new cabins will have larger overhead storage bins, more spacious and contemporary lavatories, wider seats and aisles, as well as unobstructed under-seat foot space.

All Airspace cabins will also use the latest LED technology ambient lighting and have a customizable welcome area.

“Airbus’ history of success is down to innovation - which has always included the cabin as a key driver. With the great passenger feedback on the A350 XWB, and our application of A350 cabin technology and features to the A330neo, we are proud to embrace our cabin design principles through our new brand - Airspace by Airbus,” said Dr. Kiran Rao, Airbus’ Executive Vice President of Strategy and Marketing. “The new A330neo is the launch vehicle for this brand, which along with the A350 XWB begins a new family of Airbus cabins. These will inspire and empower airlines to build the next generation of personalized flying experience for their passengers, while and at the same time optimizing the economic performance of their aircraft space.”

The four key dimensions of Airspace by Airbus comprise:

- ‘Comfort’ is offered without compromise to provide more personal and relaxing space;

- ‘Ambience’ is enhanced with mood lighting, quietness and overall sense of space;

- Next generation ‘Services’ throughout the cabin provide interactive entertainment and connectivity, contemporary lavatory features and an enhanced working environment for the crew; and

- ‘Design’ elements which create visually appealing customizable cabins and ergonomic features and are also ‘designed to perform’ for the benefit of the airlines’ operations.
