Air France has outlined plans to introduce its latest economy, premium economy and business class cabins on several new long-haul routes this summer.
In 2022 Air France presented a new business class suite product for its 12 refurbished Boeing 777-300ER aircraftfollowed by a suite design for your newly delivered Airbus A350-900 last year.
In reality, the two products are from different manufacturers: the Safran Versa seat in the case of the 777-300ER and the Stelia OPERA seat for the A350-900.
But both are based on what Air France calls the “3 Fs” (Full Flat, Full Access and Full Privacy), the last of which translates to a sliding privacy door for each suite.
Both planes also feature the airline's latest premium economy seat, offering 96cm of legroom, 124-degree recline, USB A and C charging ports, and built-in noise-cancelling headphones. The new economy seats also feature USB A charging ports and a 4K HD display with Bluetooth connectivity.
