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.
