Air France has unveiled a new Business Class seat for a renewed travel experience. In total, 2,102 seats will be installed between June 2014 and summer 2016 on 44 Boeing 777, the core of Air France’s long-haul fleet.
The new Air France Business class seat was developed around the concept of 3 F:
• Full flat – the seat converts to a fully flat bed – for crossing time zones without fatigue;
• Full access – direct access to the aisle, regardless of the seat’s location in the cabin;
• Full privacy – a protected area through the seat’s enveloping curves, providing a true bubble of privacy in the sky.
Specially designed for Air France, this seat was developed in collaboration with Zodiac Aerospace, a world leader in the manufacture of aircraft seats. Its unique design was specially created by designer Mark Collins of Design Investment, specialized in the world of high-end transportation and by the design and branding agency, Brandimage. Seeking to offer the ultimate in comfort in the sky, Air France engaged customers, company employees, designers and ergonomic experts in the seat’s cooperative design effort.
The New Business Class seat also features the latest technology for passengers to enjoy. This includes a wide high definition touch screen (with over 1000 hours of entertainment), a touch screen handset, electrical outlet, USB port and new noise-reduction headphones. Passengers will also get to enjoy a padded headboard, an adjustable soft leather headrest, space and multiple storage areas, a comfortable duvet and a soft feather pillow.
