  Cathay Pacific to Launch Premium Economy on Sydney-Hong Kong Flights

Cathay Pacific will launch its all-new finest economy service in March 2012, with Sydney travelers among the first to sample the seats and cabin.

The Hong Kong flag carrier has set aside the daily Sydney-Hong Kong service CX100 and CX101 for aircraft which have been upgraded to have room for the 28 new seats sandwiched between the airline's new business class and economy sections.

Cathay Pacific

CEO John Slosar has in the past pledged to convey something special, not just an economy seat and call it premium. Cathay Pacific has yet to formally announce its new class of travel and divulge the seats and extra services you'll get.

Earlier this year Alex McGowan, Cathay's General Manager for Product, revealed his 'premium economy playbook' to Australian Business Traveller by suggesting as a silent cabin, a more elite environment, with a bigger more comfortable armchair that one can really sink into, recline and relax in.

  Oman Air Ponders Over Introduction of Economy-Only Flights

Oman Air is taking into consideration the launch of economy-only flights on routes with low demand for premium class travel, the carrier's CEO Peter Hill has stated.

Oman Air

Peter Hill stated that a handful of the flag airline’s Boeing 737 aircraft could be reconfigured to proffer economy-only seating for routes with superior demand for budget travel.

He also has stated that they were looking at new seating arrangements. One option is the introduction of all-economy services, as demand for business class in some of the subcontinent markets is low, so that needs to be reflected with seat utilization. He added that he expects around four or five of those aircraft will obtain all-economy arrangements.
