Xiamen Air unveils B787 cabins

23 Jul 2014 by GrahamSmith

Xiamen Air has unveiled the cabin interiors onboard its new B787 Dreamliner.

The Chinese airline's first Dreamliner is due to be delivered by Boeing in late August.

Xiamen will layout its Dreamliner fleet in a three-class configuration — First, Business and Economy — seating a total of 237 passengers.

First class cabin

First class will contain four seats, business will have 18 fully-flat seats, and economy will accommodate 215 passengers.

Xiamen is due to take delivery of six Dreamliners this year and next. The images of the cabins have been sourced from talkairlines.wordpress.com.

The Dreamliner marks the first time Xiamen Air has operated a long-haul aircraft. Inaugural routes have not been officially confirmed yet, but it is believed the airline will use the B787 to commence services into Los Angeles, Amsterdam and Paris after initial crew familiarisation on intra-China flights.

Economy class

All three destinations make sense, given the countless onward connection possibilities through Xiamen's Skyteam partners Delta and Air France KLM.

At the moment, there are no direct air links between Xiamen and North America. Currently, the only long-haul service out of Xiamen attracting vast amounts of FDI every year is a thrice-weekly Amsterdam flight operated by KLM.
