Fiji Airways About to Become One of Best Ways to Cross the Pacific
Fiji Airways is about to become one of the best ways to cross the Pacific with its fleet of two new Airbus A350s.
And now, fans of the carrier no longer have to imagine what the interior looks like with the latest release from Fiji Airways.
What are the details?
Fiji Airways has hinted at its new fleet of Airbus A350 aircraft for the last couple of months, as it looks to bring the latest generation aircraft to complement its existing fleet of A330s.
The A350 is perfect for the Pacific carrier, who operates long routes between Australia and North America (with possibly the best layover in between on tropical Fiji). The carrier expects to have the first of two aircraft before the end of next month.
The aircraft is designed to have 33 Business class seats, each full lie-flat beds and with direct aisle access. As well as 301 Economy class seats in a 3-3-3 configuration throughout the cabin.
What does the new cabin look like?
So far the airline has only released exterior photos of the aircraft, but The Design Air has secured several renderings of what the cabin interior will look like. The interiors feature clean white lines with some turquoise highlights.
The seats, in particular, are the Collins Aerospace Super Diamond for business class and the Recaro CL3710 seats for economy, “which are ranked among the most comfortable long-haul economy class seats on the market.”
These seats are nothing new to the aviation industry, with the very popular Super Diamond in business already found onboard fellow airlines China Airways, British Airways and Qatar (at least before their Qsuites are rolled out among the rest of their fleet). The seat features 78-inches of flat-bed pitch and direct aisle access..
