- Aircraft: on new Boeing 787-10, 25 B777-300/ERs to be retrofitted
- Inaugural Flight: Seoul to Tokyo on July 23, 2024
Korean Air has unveiled its new Business Class suites, named Prestige Suites 2.0. Scheduled to debut on its Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner on July 23, these suites are designed to offer enhanced privacy and advanced high-tech features.
Each suite features high walls and sliding doors for enhanced privacy. This is the first time Korean Air has opted for a fully private suite in Business Class. The suites also offer compartments for personal items, AC and 60W USB-C power outlets, wireless charging, and a 23.8-inch (60 cm) 4K video screen.
Prestige Suites 2.0 Cabin
- 1-2-1 cabin configuration
- Seat: 117 cm pitch, 53 cm of width, 198-201 cm long bed
The seats, arranged in a staggered 1-2-1 layout, offer 46 inches (117 cm) of pitch, are 53 cm wide, and can be converted into fully flat beds up to 2 meters long. Fast Wi-Fi will finally be available on the B787-10.
Moreover, every second row features middle seats, as stated by the airline in a ‘honeymoon mode,’ allowing partners to lower the divider and enjoy the journey together.
Korean Air Premium Economy Cabin
While the B787-10 will not feature the new Premium Economy seats, these are expected to debut on the refurbished Boeing 777-300/ERs.
Korean Air Chairman and CEO Walter Cho has hinted that the B777s might also see a larger Business Class cabin at the expense of First Class, as reported by Executive Traveller.
Korean Air has opted for a low-key rollout of this new product, quietly updating its website rather than issuing a press release.
It has 20 Boeing 787-10s currently on order, and 25 B777-300/ERs set to be retrofitted, both models will feature the new Prestige Suites 2.0.
Looks nice. Brown is an interesting color for an airplane dressed in light blue. Nice update though!
