EVA Air unveils new Premium Economy seats
Taiwan airline EVA Air unveiled its fourth-generation Premium Economy Class seats with a seat pitch of 42 inches.
The new seats were presented at a launch with EVA Air President Clay Sun.
It is the first time the airline has introduced the new Premium Economy Class on the Boeing 787-9.
It elevates the design concept from an “upgraded economy” standard to a “business-class-like” experience, the airline says.
“The fourth-generation seats retain the core philosophy while enhancing comfort, fashion, and functionality, showcasing our commitment to service innovation and attention to detail” said EVA Air President Clay Sun.
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft featuring the new Premium Economy Class will initially serve the Taiwan Taoyuan-Jakarta route.
Future deployment will be on flights to Munich, Milan, Vienna and San Francisco
The new Premium Economy Class features 28 seats arranged in a 2-3-2 configuration. The cradle motion recline mechanism allows the seat cushion to slide forward and upward simultaneously.
Each Premium Economy seat is equipped with a 15.6-inch high-resolution widescreen monitors with a multi-function entertainment system controller.
The tray table includes a holder for personal devices, and the seats are fitted with 110V AC and USB combo power outlets.
The headrests, armrests and footrests are upholstered in premium leather, and there is ample storage spaces in the armrests.
A wheelchair-accessible armrest on aisle seats ensures that flight attendants can assist passengers with special needs.
EVA Air was the first airline to introduce Premium Economy Class, then known as Evergreen Deluxe Class, in 1992.
