Cabin modification for Philippine Airlines' A330-300 fleet
Lufthansa Technik Philippines has performed comprehensive cabin
modifications on eight A330-300 aircraft of Philippine Airlines. The
previously all-economy class aircraft have been retrofitted with a
new three-class concept comprising 309 seats. The cabin modification
campaign is part of a three-year base maintenance contract that
Lufthansa Technik Philippines and Philippine Airlines signed this
year.
Rosario Esquillo, Key Account Manager at Lufthansa Technik
Philippines, said: "With our experience in cabin retrofits for
different aircraft types, we can provide Philippine Airlines with the
best service and know-how for the benefit of its passengers. We are
happy to support Philippine Airlines in becoming a five-star
airline."
For an airline, the aircraft cabin is one of the most significant
factors in differentiation. The new cabin concept for Philippine
Airlines consists of Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class,
which have all been reconfigured with new seats, on-demand audio and
video as well as onboard WiFi and Internet connectivity. The new
business class is equipped with Thomson Aero Seating's Vantage XL
seat.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines recently upgraded its service
capabilities to include next-generation aircraft. Preparations are
underway to build up A321neo and A350 capabilities. The company will
be ready for the entry into service of Philippine Airlines' new fleet
of 21 A321neo and six A350, which will be commissioned in January and
June 2018, respectively.
