KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has introduced new broader World Business Class seats for greater passenger comfort and privacy. KLM claims that these seats are 10-15% lighter than other business class seats in this market segment, thereby contributing to KLM’s sustainability objectives
Every seat has a lightweight sliding door that can be easily opened and closed, so that the seat can be closed off for more privacy when working, relaxing and/or sleeping. There are many user-friendly accessories like adjustable lower-back support and a relax setting with a subtle back-massage feature. The seat can recline fully flat to form a comfortable, 198cm-long bed.
The seats are fitted with multiple charging sockets with wireless charging options. There is a lockable compartment with a build-in mirror, bottle holder and much more.
Commenting on the new features, Boet Kreiken, EVP Customer Experience, KLM said: “Based on extensive customer and competitor research, we improved our World Business Class seats to ensure that customers have more privacy and comfort during their flight. The new seats are better in terms of design, technology and sustainability features.”
KLM has installed Jamco Venture seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, giving all business class passengers direct access to the aisle. These Jamco Venture seats were previously installed in World Business Class aboard KLM’s Boeing 787 fleet.
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.
