Qantas Airways is set to refurbish the cabins of 10 of its Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
The upgrades will include the introduction of economy class seats developed for the ultra-long-haul “Project Sunrise” routes to Europe and America. These seats will feature 13.3-inch 4K touch screen monitors, USB-C fast charging, and Bluetooth connectivity. In addition, curtains and carpets will be replaced, and mood lighting will be introduced.
The business suites, which convert to fully flat beds, will remain unchanged as they are similar to those found on the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 aircraft.
Work is scheduled to start in Brisbane from mid-2025, with the aircraft expected to enter service by the end of 2025. The refurbishment is planned to be completed by the end of 2026.
These aircraft are currently utilized on routes connecting Australia with Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and others. With the introduction of 24 new Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 aircraft from the fiscal year 2027, these A330-200s are set to be retired.
