China Eastern Fleet Airbus A350-900 Details and Pictures. On current fleet, China Eastern operates 12 extra wide body aircraft Airbus A350-900.
China Eastern has become the latest Chinese carrier to take delivery of the Airbus A350-900 aircraft, which has been earmarked to fly select domestic services in China as well as long-haul routes to Europe, North America and Australia.
The aircraft is set to debut on the airline’s Shanghai-Beijing service with future aircraft set to operate routes to Chengdu, Guangzhou, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Vancouver and Sydney.
While China Eastern isn’t the first Chinese carrier to receive the A350 – both Air China and Sichuan Airlines already operate the widebody aircraft – the airline is notable for being the only one of the three to offer a first class cabin on the aircraft.
Airbus’ Chinese completion and delivery center has handed over its first A350-900 to China Eastern Airlines.
The A350 is the first to be finished at the facility since it began working on the flagship widebody in 2019.
The first A350 to be built at Airbus’ Tianjin plant in North China has rolled off the production line and been handed over to China Eastern.
The Tianjin plant is the only facility outside of the EU capable of producing both the narrowbody and widebody products for Airbus.
The widebody facility was brought online in September 2017 to produce the A330, but was extended to include the A350 in 2019.
China Eastern Fleet Airbus A350-900 Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout
China Eastern’s Airbus A350-900 aircraft features a modern and comfortable four-class cabin layout of 288 seats: 4 first (business plus), 36 business, 32 premium economy and 216 economy.
The airline will initially operate the new aircraft on its domestic routes, followed by flights to international destinations.
China Eastern Business Plus is a mini cabin with 4 identical Business Class seats in front of the plane.
This Business Class Plus seat is longer than the standard Business Class offering.
All 36 Standard Business and The 4 Business Plus seats have the same “door” providing good privacy.
However there is no partition between Business Plus and the rest of the Business Class cabin.
From the first glance, the seats are in same configuration as The Delta One suite, however they are customised to China Eastern’s design.
These seats look gorgeous, and they have excellent length and privacy, but appear to be a bit narrow due to the staggered layout.
The only visual difference in Business Plus is the larger LCD TV screen along with the lengthier cabin, which consequentially converts the seat into a longer bed.
This could be beneficial to anyone who’s taller than 6 foot.
They have chosen to install the Thompson Vantage XL seat for their business class seats, complete with sliding doors, which is the same seat as the Delta One Suites.
Qantas, South African Airways and SAS also have this seat as their latest business class seat, although they have opted not to have sliding doors.
A passenger-pleasing 1-2-1 seating layout comes standard aboard China Eastern’s Airbus A350s – providing direct and uninterrupted aisle access for every guest, as you’d expect – but these are no ordinary business class seats: they’re private suites, complete with closing doors.
New seats, the largest in-flight touchscreen in the airline, a next generation in-flight entertainment system, a full function bar, optimized cabin scene lightening, NFC (near field communication) reader for in-flight shopping, world premiere bluetooth earphone module, and high-throughput open spaces intersect.
The balcony-styled business class, the first of its kind, is equipped with a host of amenities, including Thompson Vantage’s first “super business” products, 32-inch high definition touchscreens that are far larger than regular first-class allocations, mini-bars, convenient storage lockers, AC power outlets, and more comfortable three-point seatbelts.
The two premium business class seats in the middle row are also foldable, allowing flight crew to reshape the space into a community area that up to four people can comfortably use for a business meeting or family gathering.
