On 19th July, 2011 Air France’s Boeing 777-200ER goes into service on Mumbai route

The aircraft is equipped with the new Air France Business Class seat. With a fixed shell seat guaranteeing the passenger’s privacy, the seat structure and environment have been redesigned to offer a seat bed whose dimensions make it one of the most spacious and most comfortable beds on the market (2-metres long – 61cm wide).

The aircraft also offers a raft of other innovations, including an in flight entertainment system (IFE) developed exclusively for Air France and new bar areas in each cabin.

Introducing the new seats on the Paris-Mumbai sector further extends the privileged travelling experience to business and leisure customers in India. This is a step forward in strengthening Air France’s position in the Indian market.

The Boeing 777-200ER seats 309 passengers in a 3-cabin configuration:
Business – 35 seats
Premium Voyageur – 24 seats
Voyageur – 250 seats
