Premium economy offer from AA
Australian Airlines today announced it would introduce a Premium Economy cabin from mid-2006.
Australian Airlines currently offers an all-Economy cabin of 271 seats, which will be reconfigured as 28 Premium Economy seats and 238 Economy seats.
Australian Airlines Chief Executive Andrea Staines said the main features of Australian Airlines’ Premium Economy product would include more spacious seating, priority boarding and priority meal service.
Ms Staines said the introduction of Premium Economy would give customers more choice.
“The introduction of Premium Economy is an extension of our full-service, international leisure product offering.
“Customers can choose the benefits of a Premium Economy product, which offers more leg room, seat width and seat recline.”
Premium Economy will go on sale in early 2006 with fare levels to be announced closer to the time.
