Air New Zealand is set to introduce a new look for its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, featuring redesigned business-class suites. The Auckland-based airline announced it has completed the cabin overhaul for one of its Dreamliners, introducing four new spacious pods at the front of the plane. This is the first of 14 787s scheduled for updates by the end of next year.
The freshly updated aircraft arrived in Auckland after a 184-day retrofit in Singapore, showcasing modifications from new seats across all cabins to updated carpet, curtains, and lavatory wallpaper. The airline's revamped Dreamliner cabin highlights include the new Business Premier Luxe seats equipped with a buddy seat, allowing two passengers to dine together.
The retrofitted 787-9s will house 26 business-class seats total, offering both Luxe and lie-flat pods. In premium economy, 33 recliners will feature winged headrests, while the main cabin will include 213 economy seats, incorporating the Economy Skycouch option.
