After the Boeing 787, KLM is to install its new Business Class on all its Boeing 777-300 and 200 aircraft

This is now the norm for a growing number of companies. Following the example ofAir Franceof flydubaior Lufthansathe sliding door embarks more and more regularly in business class. And passengers on the KLM will be no exception to the rule. The airline has just announced the launch of its World Business Class on board its B777. This business class, which already equips the Boeing 787will be extended to thethe entire fleet of Boeing 777-300 and 200. The renovation - which also includes the arrival of the new Premium Comfort cabin - must be completed within during 2024.

In addition to the sliding door guaranteeing greater privacy, KLM promises wider seats, convertible into a flat bed of 198 cm long. Jamco seats include a wireless recharging option. And their configuration (1-2-1) guarantees direct aisle access for all business class passengers. KLM will also benefit from the modernisation of this Business class, as these seats are 10 to 15 % lighter than other business classes in this market segment. A strategic gain in terms of fuel consumption.

" Based on an in-depth study of customers and the competition, we have improved the seats in World Business Class to offer passengers greater privacy and comfort during the flight. "says Boet Kreiken, Executive Vice President, Customer Experience. " The new seats are more efficient in terms of design, technology and durability. KLM is responding to a wide range of passenger wishes with the new seats in World Business Class, Premium Comfort, Economy Comfort and Economy Class. We are delighted to offer these new products and related services to our customers worldwide. "continues Boet Kreiken.
