TAP Air Portugal has become the world's first airline to fly the new A330-900neo and has selected Bucher galleys to equip the cabins of the new aircraft.
The aircraft is the first to feature the new “Airspace by Airbus” cabin concept. Airspace offers flexible zones and innovative design for the cabin crew's workspace and gives passengers a new cabin experience.
The development of the Bucher galleys focused on optimising the crew's operations but also increasing comfort for passengers. The finished interior layout achieves a pleasant ambience while allowing passengers to experience first-class service.
Bucher Leichtbau have been given the opportunity to develop and manufacture the galleys for the Portuguese “launching operator”. The challenge was to develop galleys that were light, safe and which conformed to the specifications of the new aircraft while also adapting to the customer's unique ergonomic requirements.
