Qantas has unveiled the cabin designs onboard its flagship 787-9 Dreamliner, which is expected to arrive in a year’s time.
The Qantas Dreamliner would seat 236 passengers across Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins in a layout designed to maximise comfort for the longer distances the 787-9 is expected to fly.
The Business Suite is the next generation of the very popular seat recently installed on Qantas’ Airbus A330 fleet, known for providing a high level of privacy, made more flexible on the 787 with the ability to now adjust the divider between each seat.
The suites also have a fully-flat bed and offer plenty of space. Laid out in a 1-2-1 configuration, each suite has direct aisle access as well as the ability to stay reclined during take-off and landing.
Economy passengers would also have more room including an extra inch of seat pitch compared with the national carrier’s A380 and an all-new seat. It features a new personal device holder, USB ports, more storage areas, a seat-back mood light designed to minimise disturbance for other passengers and a high-definition entertainment touchscreen that is five percent larger.
The seats also feature an updated version of the popular Qantas ‘footnet’ first introduced on the A380, which are designed to cradle the legs during sleep.
Unveiling the Business and Economy seats in Sydney, Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said the interiors had been carefully designed with longer routes and changing passenger preferences in mind.
“The Dreamliner is an aircraft built for comfort. The windows are bigger, it helps reduce jetlag, it’s extremely quiet and there’s a system that smooths out turbulence. Customers are going to love it,” said Joyce.
“We’re planning to make the most of the 787’s amazing range, so we’ve designed the cabin to give Qantas passengers a better experience on long-haul flights,” he added.
