Sky Lounge is also available for the premium class where it offers variety of Tea, Coffee, Pastries etc. Premium Economy Class features 62 back-shell seats, making sure personal space will not be intruded. Last but not least, the brand new Economy Class, ALL 256 of them comes with slim design, ensuring enough leg-room to spare.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The new Premium Business Class cabin features 180 degree fully reclining seats for the ultimate in flat beds, personal reading and convenience lighting, as well as an 18 inch Personal Entertainment panel. The personal spaces are finished with persimmon wood accents and relaxing cloud patterns in dark blue, a private study for the traveler. Premium Business Class also gives access to Sky Lounge, an innovative unique club space offering a selection of reading material as well as refreshments, full bar and beverages emphasizing international wines, teas and coffees of Taiwan. Premium Economy Class cabin seating is defined with a spacious 39 inch pitch, offering exceptional comfort and privacy in this premier cabin.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The NexGen Travel Cabin design is based on our corporate brand core messages, which consists of 5 key elements in Cultural Creativity, Technology, Environmental Protection, Emotional Connection & Reliability. We have carried out research in collaboration with external consulting firm, which held one on one interview with industrially well-known and respected people, as well as focus group with frequent flyers from different airlines, in searching for what customers really need and the true value of what China Airlines should be.

CHALLENGE:
The 2-year time span that made the design concept of NexGen travel Cabin into a reality is a difficult but rather joyful one. It took numerous discussion sessions between the designers and manufacturers (seats, Sky Lounge, family couch etc.) to come up with plans able to fit the tight schedule as well as the budget control. The greatest challenge came from the air-transportation certification stand point, where the designs were in conflict with acquiring the certification and the technology were limited to overcame the obstacles at times.
