Cathay Pacific has unveiled its retrofitted 777-300ER aircraft, featuring the new Aria business class suite, at Hong Kong International Airport on October 16, with the plane set to operate on regional routes, including a flight to Beijing, before transitioning to long-haul destinations in January.
The 777-300ER redesign includes 45 Aria Suites arranged in a 1-2-1 layout, along with 48 premium economy seats and 268 economy seats, enhancing passenger comfort and privacy through features like a sliding door and privacy partitions.
The Aria Suite boasts upgraded technology, such as a 24-inch 4K IFE monitor, wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity for personal headphones, and customizable lighting options accessible via a simple control panel.
Improvements in the premium economy section include enhanced privacy and comfort, with a 15.6-inch 4K screen, better storage options, and upgraded cabin facilities like touch-free toilets and a three-stage lighting system to reduce light disturbance.
