Keywords: Aircraft, Boeing
Boeing and UK-based carrier Thomsonfly today revealed an updated interior for the operators Boeing 757- 200 and 767-200 aeroplanes that creates a modern, spacious feel highlighted by newly-designed curved ceilings and larger, more rounded storage bins. Thomsonfly.com is the launch customer for the new Boeing 757-200 and 767-200 Enhanced Interior Package.
“We are very excited that Thomsonfly.com has chosen the new Boeing Enhanced Interior package as part of their re-branding program”, said Dan da Silva, Vice-President of Customer Support for Europe, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “Theyre continuing to lead with innovative interiors for their passengers”.
The Enhanced Interior Package is designed to improve comfort and passenger appeal, increase market competitiveness and extend the life of the airlines fleet. The refreshed designs are fashioned after the interiors of the passenger-preferred Boeing 777 and reflect new interior-design elements for the all-new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Thomsonfly.com travellers will also enjoy new seats, flat-screen liquid crystal display in-flight entertainment systems, and new carpeting installed by the carrier in their Boeing aeroplanes.
“The new interiors represent a significant investment in the Thomsonfly.com fleet and we have worked closely with Boeing to tailor the designs specifically to our needs”, said Kevin Hatton, Thomsonfly.coms Managing Director. “As the first airline to install the Boeing Enhanced Interior Package, it shows our commitment to providing our customers with modern cabin interiors and a high level of comfort”.
Boeings Commercial Aviation Services provided the new ceiling and bins for Thomsonfly.coms 757s and 767s as part of its interior refresh program for those models.
Thomsonfly.coms aircraft are operated by Britannia, one of the worlds largest holiday airlines, which serves 96 destinations in 37 countries with more than 40 Boeing aircraft.
