KLM deploys new World Business Class cabin on the Lagos – Amsterdam route

In a bid to provide more comfort to travellers, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has concluded plan to deploy its B777-200 aircraft on the Lagos – Amsterdam route.  The B777 airplane replaces the A330 the carrier used on the route.

The aircraft features the New World Business Class (WBC) cabin which was designed by leading Dutch designer Hella Jongerius.

The airline told woleshadare.net that KLM created an entirely new Business Class look & feel while uniting international allure with top Dutch design to emphasise a sense of pride in its Dutch heritage.

 In addition to designing the interior, Hella Jongerius also shaped the full-flat seats. Customer comfort and safety always form the premise, harmonising well with KLM’s brand values. This also fits into the broader context of other successful KLM initiatives in WBC with top Dutch chefs and fashion designers.

Jean-Raoul Tauzin, General Manager KLM Nigeria & Ghana said, “ By revamping our World Business Class cabin we make our Business Class passengers feel at home on board.  KLM strives constantly to safeguard individual comfort in amiable settings using innovations while putting emphasis on the best the Netherlands has to offer”

He said the new cabin is fitted with the new full-flat bed which guarantees optimum comfort, adding that the positioning of the new business class seats and other various smart design elements ensures privacy while sleeping or working.
