China Airlines Takes Delivery of Next Generation
Boeing 777-300ER in Seattle
On October 3, 2014, China Airlines took delivery of its first 777-300ER passenger aircraft at Boeing’s Everett Delivery Center in Seattle. China Airlines Chairman Huang-Hsiang Sun and Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner hosted a ceremony to celebrate the delivery of China Airlines’ next generation aircraft, attended by Shen Lyu-shun, the Ambassador of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States (TECRO), Andy Chin, Director General of TECRO in Seattle, and China Airlines Chief Designer Ray Chen, among other guests.
The Boeing 777-300ER is the world’s most successful twin-engine, long-haul jet. Compared to similar aircraft models, it weighs 19% less and represents a 22% reduction in carbon emissions. In 2012, China Airlines announced that it will introduce 10 Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft to its fleet between 2014 and 2016. Equipped with the next generation GE90-115BL engine, the 777-300ER aircraft was designed for energy efficiency. Each 777-300ER plane will save China Airlines an estimated NT$300 million a year.
During the ceremony, China Airlines Chairman Huang-Hsiang Sun said the introduction of the Boeing 777-300ER fleet is an important milestone for China Airlines. Over the past two years, China Airlines has taken a brand new approach and philosophy to cabin design. In addition to enhancing safety and fuel efficiency, China Airlines is injecting an appreciation for history and culture, Taiwan’s cultural creativity, and Oriental beauty into its cabin interior, while also incorporating modern technology. China Airlines is making a pioneering move in the airline industry, which will leave a lasting impression on passengers and enhance its competitiveness.
“China Airlines has been a valued Boeing customer for over 50-years and we are honored to celebrate the milestone delivery of their first 777-300ER,” said Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “The airline’s new 777-300ER represents the beginning of a new era for China Airlines and the people of Taiwan. As the many Boeing models before it, we are confident that the 777-300ER will continue to help China Airlines open up new markets and expand its horizons, as they continue to achieve tremendous success.”
China Airlines’ 777-300ER passenger aircraft has a capacity of 358 seats: 40 seats in Premium Business Class, 62 seats in Premium Economy Class, and 256 seats in Economy Class. The cabin space showcases Oriental beauty as well as advances in technology and environmental protection. Created by Chief Designer Ray Chen and his world-class team, the cabin design is a reinterpretation of classic aesthetics through Taiwanese lens, encapsulating China Airlines’ brand essence and evolution. Through China Airlines’ extensive flight network, passengers from around the world will be able to experience the cultural finesse of China Airlines.
In an industry first, the cabin interior of China Airlines’ next generation 777-300ER aircraft features a wood grain design, along with mood lighting to form a unique space. Passengers in Premium Business Class can enjoy full-flat 78-inch spacious seats that are comparable to First Class seats. With the introduction of the 777-300ER, China Airlines is launching a new Premium Economy Class, featuring expanded 39-inch legroom and a fixed backshell design, so passengers reclining their seats won’t interrupt travelers in the row behind them.
In Economy Class, seatbacks are thinner and recline to 120 degrees, giving passengers more legroom and comfort. Also in Economy Class, a family of three can enjoy Asia’s first Family Couch by raising their footrests to convert their seats into a single sofa bed.
The defining feature of China Airlines’ next generation 777-300ER aircraft lies in its poetic beauty, inspired by Song Dynasty poet Lu You. The industry’s first high-ceiling Sky Lounge in Premium Business Class thoughtfully integrates Eastern and Western culture. It serves as a relaxing space for passengers and a platform for showcasing Taiwanese culture. The Eastern “Literary Tea-tasting Area” on the left offers six selected teas from Taiwan: Charcoal Tung Ting Oolong Tea, Alishan Oolong Tea, Shan Lin Xi Tea, Lishan Oolong Tea, Oriental Beauty Tea, and Sun Moon Lake Black Tea. The Western “Fashionable Coffee Area” on the right provides aromatic coffee in coffee capsules and locally grown coffee that go well with Western pastry. The bar in the middle offers cocktails, tapas and cup noodles. Sky Lounge represents Taiwan’s impressive cultural and creative experience and the Oriental tranquility found in the food culture of the literati. The bookshelf-like space on the two sides of Sky Lounge provides a selection of Chinese and English books of the month, which immerses busy passengers in a relaxing setting of literature and taste.
The new aircraft is equipped with the Panasonic eX3 in-flight entertainment system, which features a social networking function called “Seat Chat”, allowing passengers on the same flight to message one another. The in-flight entertainment system boasts the industry’s biggest screens: 18-inch screen in Premium Business Class, 12.1-inch screen in Premium Economy Class, and 11.1-inch screen in Economy Class. When flying above 10,000 feet, passengers can enjoy Wi-Fi service for a fee starting at US$11.95 for one hour, US$16.95 for three hours, and US$21.95 for 24 hours.
China Airlines’ first 777-300ER aircraft will arrive at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport around 10 p.m. on October 4, and it will start serving regional routes on October 10. The aircraft will be used for the Taoyuan-Los Angeles route starting in December and Taoyuan-New York and Taoyuan-San Francisco routes starting in 2015. China Airlines will take delivery of its second and third 777-300ER aircraft in October and November of this year, respectively, brining China Airlines Group’s total fleet to 91 aircraft.
