KLM this week introduced its first Airbus A330-200 with a fully renewed cabin interior. In addition to a whole new design, all seats in World Business Class have been converted to full-flat models, with a brand-new in-flight entertainment system. By November 2018, KLM will have converted all seats in World Class Business to full-flat models. Economy Class seats have also been replaced and a new in-flight entertainment system has been installed. The renovated A330-200 (registration PH-AOD) operated its first flight to Abu Dhabi.

Metamorphosis in World Business Class
Previously, KLM renewed the World Business Class cabins aboard its Boeings 747s, 777-200s and 777-300s. KLM’s new Boeing 787 Dreamliners were already equipped with the new-look World Business Class. The new seats and interior were designed by KLM in collaboration with designer Hella Jongerius.

The World Business Class makeover includes the following features:

  • New full-flat WBC seats, which are more than two metres long at full stretch;
  • 18.5” HD-quality touchscreen display in 16:9 format;
  • Interactive entertainment menu in 12 languages, featuring more than 200 films and 3D flight tracking;
  • Films with audio description for blind and visually impaired passengers;
  • Headphone socket with KLM noise-cancelling headset;
  • 110V socket and USB connection.

New Economy Class interior
The Economy Class cabin of the A330-200 has also been totally renewed. Apart from new seats, the cabin has been equipped with a new in-flight entertainment system, as well as new carpeting and curtains.

The Economy Class makeover includes the following features:

  • 10” HD-quality touchscreen display in 16:9 format;
  • High-power USB connection;
  • Interactive entertainment menu in 12 languages, featuring more than 200 films and 3D flight tracking;
