Air China announced it will revamp business class on 16 Airbus A330-200 aircraft and expand its premium economy product over the next few years as part of its long term cabin revitalisation programme.
The carrier will upgrade the premier cabin by introducing a 180-degree flat bed seat and advanced inflight entertainment systems. More details of the new seat, such as width, pitch and configuration, and a time frame for the release of the new product have not yet been released.
Currently, Air China's business class cabins on these aircraft, featuring 170-degree angled seats, appear on both medium- and long-haul routes, such as flights between Beijing and New York, Frankfurt, London and Sydney and on select domestic routes.

Initially, this product featured on the Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-London routes.
