Hong Kong-London premium service to launch
Hong Kong Airlines will launch an all Club Class service flying daily non-stop between London Gatwick and Hong Kong in 2012.
The new service will be operated with a dedicated fleet of three new Airbus A330-200s featuring an all Club Class seating configuration in two cabins: Club Premier and Club Classic.
Club Premier will include 34 suites with fully flat 6’1” beds configured 1-2-1 in the two forward cabins; a fine dining service with individual table settings.
Club Classic will have 82 cradle seats configured 2-2-2 over two cabins with a 51” seat pitch and 22” width.
All cabins will include WIFI, AVOD, digital magazines and high definition 16:9 ratio widescreens; 15.4” in Club Premier and 10.4” in Club Classic.
Gerard Clarke, general manager UK for Hong Kong Airlines, said, "The concept for the all Club Class aircraft will provide passengers with a private jet style ambience and an exceptional crew to guest ratio."
The route from Hong Kong-London was attempted by Oasis Airlines but failed in 2008, due to lack of funding.
