After being selected by China Southern Airlines to equip its B777-300 ER in 2013 and its A330-300 in 2017, STELIA Aerospace has been selected by the Chinese carrier again for its new B777-300 ER long-haul aircraft.

China Southern Airlines has indeed decided to renew its partnership with STELIA Aerospace, by choosing the bespoke SOLSTYS Business Class seat for its B777-300 ER aircraft, with an ultra-optimised programme leadtime.

Always keen on improving the comfort of its customers, China Southern Airlines has selected the enhanced SOLSTYS seat, specifically customised:

– Direct aisle access
– Large and comfortable full-flat bed
– High privacy
– High reliability and high quality finishes of the seat
– Cost-efficient maintenance

Other features include more stowage space, integrated reading lights and a large meal table. Passengers can also enjoy a more personalised and interactive experience in terms of Inflight Entertainment, with a 16” full high-definition touchscreen monitor and easily understandable seat function unit control.

Thierry KANENGIESER, VP Cabin Interior, STELIA Aerospace, said: “China Southern Airlines confirms its confidence in STELIA Aerospace by selecting the proven comfortable and reliable SOLSTYS seat, which will now be flying on their additional 777-300 ER aircraft. We are very proud of the long partnership that our two companies have built over the past years and we will continue to invest and support China Southern Airlines strongly for its future development needs”.
