SEPANG: Malaysia Airlines will have new Business Class seats on its A330-300 aircraft in April 2016, with all 15 A330-300 aircraft to be fitted with the new configurat­ion by September 2016.

The airline unveiled the new seat configurat­ion at the World Travel Market in London on Monday.

The business class seat pitch, which measures at 43 inches with a width of 20.6 inches and length of 76 inches, is one of the best received business class seats in the industry.

The seats come with increased working space with 90% of all seats having direct aisle access due to the 1-2-1 and 1-2-2 seat layout, with extra stowage space for personal items. Each seat is equipped with a Panasonic 16inch touch screen inflight entertainm­ent system. Every aspect of the new product has been carefully designed with the passenger’s comfort and needs in mind.

Malaysia Airlines group CEO Christoph Mueller said the new seats and configurat­ion have been designed to give a superb space for work, play or sleep. All of its A330 business class seats will now feature fully flat beds.

“This product will make us more competitiv­e against other full-service carriers and is part of the airline’s push to be more customer centric, offering new, personalis­ed and innovative products,” he said in a statement.
