Air France inaugurates first Boeing 777 equipped with new cabins

Air France inaugurated its first Boeing 777 equipped with its new cabins. Flight AF008 took off from Paris-Charles de Gaulle on June 24th for New York. For the first time, customers were able to enjoy the new Economy cabin, offering optimum travel comfort, and Premium Economy, with 40% additional space. They also discovered the new Business class, a real cocoon in the sky. These cabins are being progressively installed on 44 Boeing 777, the heart of Air France’s long-haul fleet. The Group had already announced an investment of €700m in new cabins, including €500m for Air France and €200m for KLM. With the planned upgrading of both airlines’ Airbus A330 and Air France’s A380 over the next few years, the Air France-KLM Group will invest a total of more than €1bn by 2017 in the upgrading of its products and services for its customers.
