Cathay Pacific Plans To Launch Regional Business Class
The Business Class of any airline is among the most sophisticated ways to fly in the world today
. While most airlines usually offer the Business Class only on their long haul flights, Cathay Pacific has gone one step ahead and has offered a brand new Business Class to its passengers even on regional flights. The airline now plans to launch the new Business Class on its Singapore and Tokyo routes.
The new regional Business Class that Cathay Pacific has planned for its customers is hailed as one of the best seats in the regional operations of any airline. While Business Class were hitherto only offered to those passengers who were in for flights covering long distances, now that Cathay Pacific has plans in place to launch the same on the Hong Kong to Tokyo and Hong Kong to Singapore routes, there is sure to be a high demand for these seats, especially from those who love to travel in style, no matter that the flight lasts only 4-5 hours.
The amazing fleet of Cathay Pacific has always been among the best in the commercial aviation industry. The continual efforts of the airline to modify its aircraft as and when the need arises are also well known. Now that the new Business Class has been decided to be used on regional flights as well, the required aircraft are being retrofitted with the new seats as well. The Boeing 777 and the Airbus A330s are the aircraft that the airline utilizes on its regional routes and these are the aircraft that are currently undergoing the necessary upgrade. The first aircraft is scheduled to be ready in January 2013 and flights to Tokyo and Singapore with the new Cathay Pacific Business Class are slated to start soon after. The rollout is being carried out on a war footing and the entire process is expected to be completed by the end of the year 2014. Apart from Singapore and Tokyo, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur are among the cities that will see these new Business Class seats.
The Cathay Pacific Business Class seats for short haul flights has come as a pleasant surprise to many passengers who craved for a little luxury even when they were flying shorter routes. An airline that has always paid due attention to the wants of passengers, Cathay Pacific had made known its plans for a modified Business Class in early 2012. The airline had even laid open its plans and the initial reviews for the new seats are extremely satisfying.
The business model of Cathay Pacific has always had room for continuous improvements from the passenger"s point of view, and the new Business Class seats are yet another example of the airline"s dedication towards its customers.
