China Airlines unveils new Premium Economy interiors on 787s

Taiwan’s China Airlines will soon introduce a fleet of brand-new Boeing 787 passenger jets with new Premium Economy interiors. The cabin design has been revamped so that it not only maintains “The Theme of Oriental Aesthetics” but is also imbued with touches of home through distinctive local scenery and cultural motifs, creating a familiar feel with new surprises. The Premium Economy cabin aboard the China Airlines 787 is inspired by the theme “Starlit Mountain City“. The clever use of colors, materials, as well as the interplay of light and shadow, present an elegant fusion of local culture and technology through which travelers can experience the energy and warmth of Taiwan’s cities during their flight. The all-new China Airlines 787 passenger aircraft features 28 seats in Premium Economy Class in a 2-3-2 seating configuration. The “Mountain City Nightscape” seat covers subtly shift under ambient lighting, inspired by the luminous atmosphere of Jiufen after dark. Metallic chrome detailing paired with warm leather textures creates a refined balance between contemporary technology and cultural warmth. The exclusive 6-way headrest with integrated surround shielding provides travelers with privacy and comfort in their personal space. The leather footrest under the seat enhances comfort on long-haul flights. The tray table retains the persimmon wood grain identification system used across China Airlines fleets, inspired by traditional Taiwanese symbolism associated with prosperity and fulfillment. It also comes with an anti-slip surface coating for both aesthetics and practicality. For the convenience of travelers with personal mobile devices, the tray table can also serve as a mobile phone and tablet stand. The personal entertainment system is equipped with a 15.6″ 4K high-definition display. Bluetooth connectivity for smart devices is also supported, an industry-first, so that mobile phones and tablets can be used to control the in-flight entertainment system. Pairing with Bluetooth headphones is supported so that travelers can enjoy the onboard audio-visual content with their own personal devices. Each seat also comes with a rose-gold reading lamp to give each reading or dining session a sophisticated touch.
