Virgin Australia has revealed the stylish new design and interior refresh of the Boeing 777 fleet of aircraft.
The Boeing 777 re-design will bring a fresh and contemporary new look to the fleet, consistent with that across the Virgin Australia domestic network.
The 777 cabin interior will undergo a complete re-design of seat fabrics, carpets and curtain
dividers. Seats across Business, Premium Economy and Economy have been updated for even more comfort with extra padding, new fabrics and headrests throughout the aircraft. Led by Virgin Australia’s Creative Director, Hans Hulsbosch, the new designs are inspired by the ceiling and flooring “leaf” designs in the Virgin Australia lounges, and have been created exclusively for the 777 fleet. The design and colour palette creates a strong brand connection across the Virgin Australia journey.
Virgin Australia Group Executive of Product and Guest Services, Martin Daley said the redesigned international fleet would deliver exceptional style and comfort for guests along with a fresh and contemporary look and feel renowned across Virgin Australia domestic aircraft.
“Virgin Australia’s cabin refresh of the Boeing 777 has been designed by experts in their fields. The redesign provides guests with a fresh interior, plus the comfort and style found across all our aircraft, whilst maintaining the service and inflight experience suited to all guests,” Mr Daley said.
Cabin refresh features on the 777 include newly designed custom fabric covers for Business, Premium Economy and Economy seats; fabrics manufactured by world renowned fabric manufacturers Rohi, in Munich, Germany, all seat covers feature enhanced cushioning for extra comfort, newly designed Curtain dividers, new carpet throughout cabin
The first Boeing 777 with the cabin redesign will be in service from April 12th, with the remainder of the fleet rolling out with the refresh throughout the rest of the year.
