Air China goes flat-out for Skycouch
Air New Zealand has signed a licensing agreement with China Airlines for its Economy Skycouch seat.
Under the terms of the agreement, China Airlines will introduce the Skycouch to its fleet of new 777-300ERs from September this year.
The Skycouch is a row of three economy seats that together adapt to create a flat flexible space to stretch out and relax in.
Air New Zealand CEO Christopher Luxon says the Skycouch has been revolutionary for the airline.
"The Skycouch has transformed the Economy flying experience and has been really well received by our customers since it was first introduced in 2011.
"We have seen strong interest from other airlines in the product and are exploring licensing agreements with other carriers on non-competing routes," Luxon said.
