Thanks to various innovations, the seats are 10-15% lighter than other business class seats in this market segment, thereby contributing to KLM’s sustainability objectives.
These new seats were designed on the basis of extensive customer research. The new seats offer passengers more space and comfort:
- All World Business Class passengers have direct access to the aisle. Every seat has a lightweight sliding door that can be easily opened and closed for more privacy.
- More personal adjustment options and user-friendly functionality, including an adjustable lower-back support and a relax setting with a subtle back-massage feature.
- The seat can be reclined fully flat to form a comfortable bed.
- Multiple charging sockets, easily accessible and clearly visible, as well as a wireless charging option.
- Passengers can stow their belongings in a lockable compartment, which also has a built-in mirror. The seat features a recessed bottle holder so that passengers can safely leave a water bottle on their tabletop.
Other World Business Class Services, including the catering concept and SkyPriority, remain unchanged.
KLM’s entire Boeing 777-300 and 200 fleet will be fitted with the new World Business Class seats. This fleet will also be fitted with the latest Premium Comfort cabin. The full revamp will be completed during the course of the coming year.
