Thai Airways International’s Board of Directors
agreed in a board meeting held today, to select its new Business and Economy Class seats for
their Boeing 777-200 aircraft in accordance to a proposal put forth by the Subcommittee on Purchasing Aircraft Seats, which negotiated the price as follows: Economy Class seat selection was approved for Recaro Company and Business Class seat selection was approved for B/E Aerospace, based on two main points
namely technical qualities and consideration of price.
THAI stated that the redesign of the Business and Economy Class seats on its Boeing
777-200 aircraft, of which THAI has a total of 8, will be based on a new design
created for increased passenger comfort. The aircraft seat arrangement for
Business Class will be 2-2-2, enabling a seat recline of 165 degrees.
The Economy Class seat arrangement will be 3-3-3 replacing the 3-4-3 seat
arrangement, making travel on this aircraft type more comfortable and spacious for passengers.
Completion
of the seat refurbishment is expected to be within 12-15 months. |
