Faced with longer flight times than the vast majority of airlines, Air New Zealand logically pays particular attention to passenger rest. " New Zealand's geographical location puts us in a unique position to be at the forefront of the ultra-long-haul travel experience. "says Greg Foran, CEO of Air New Zealand. " We've focused on sleep, comfort and well-being because we know how important it is for our customers to arrive well rested. Whether they're heading straight to a meeting or to their first holiday destination, they want to be up and running straight away. "he adds. The airline's management has therefore just unveiled an innovative new concept, dubbed Skynest. It includes six sleeping pods with bunks for economy class passengers: a first. " A cabin that allows customers to close their eyes wherever they are seated "says the company boss with satisfaction.
The Skynest concept will make its debut in 2024with the arrival of new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners ordered by Air New Zealand - i.e. eight devices - as well as current fleet of modernised 787-9s. To mark the occasion, the New Zealand carrier plans to bring other new features on board. A new suite Business Premier Luxury - with a door for added privacy and space for two people to dine - and a new seat Business Premier are expected by 2024.
