Lufthansa planning new business class on its subsidiaries by 2020

Media reports said that this significant change is going to take place for the first time after 2003 when fully flat bed with direct aisle access was introduced by Virgin Atlantic Airways. It may be noted that Lufthansa had introduced new business class cabins on its Airbus A350 aircraft in February 2017. The reports said that the new business class being introduced groupwide is expected to enhance the passenger experience, both in the air and on the ground.

The reports further stated that the new business class cabins would be offering direct aisle access to each customer. Currently, Austrian Airlines is offering direct aisle access in business class on its Boeing 767 aircrafts. Moreover, the newly developed next generation business class seats would be equipped with digitalization and customization features. The premium customers traveling in the new business class cabins would be able to wirelessly control their seats with the help of their own tablets or smartphones. They will also be able to directly control the state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system and position of their seas utilizing their own personal electronic devices.

A spokesperson of Lufthansa said that the company is planning to launch its new Boeing Triple Seven X aircrafts in 2020. The next generation aircraft will have exclusively designed business class cabins installed. The new business class seats have been developed for the network airlines, which includes Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines and Austrian Airlines.
