Ethiopian Airlines has retrofitted the first of its B767-300ER aircraft with the carrier’s fully-flat business class seat.
The Cloud Nine business class seats feature 17-inch TV screens and in-seat power sockets. The aircraft’s economy cabin has also been refurbished, with new seats offering wifi IFE accessible on passengers’ personal devices.
Ethiopian’s B767-300ER aircraft operate on the airline’s Indian, Middle Eastern and African routes.
Commenting on the refurbishment project Ethiopian Group’s CEO Tewolde GebreMariam said:
“As a customer focused and market driven airline, we are always committed to offering unmatched travel experiences for our customers.
“We have invested more than US$6 million to retrofit our B-767-300 ER fleet, which will surely provide more choice and greater comfort to our customers.
“By December 2017, all our B767 fleet will be fitted with flat-bed seats in Cloud Nine with access to a range of video programming available for wireless streaming in all cabins.”
